Increased carotid artery intimal-medial thickness in asymptomatic older subjects with exercise-induced myocardial ischemia.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown an association between symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) and increased intimal-medial thickness of the common carotid artery (CCA IMT), a purported index of atherosclerosis. This study determines whether CCA IMT is increased in asymptomatic older subjects with an ischemic ST-segment response to treadmill exercise. METHODS AND RESULTS CCA IMT was ...
متن کاملRace-specific relationships between coronary and carotid artery calcification and carotid intimal medial thickness.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Calcified arterial plaque has been proposed as a subclinical marker of atherosclerosis. We compared it to a well-validated surrogate--carotid intimal medial thickness (IMT). METHODS Calcified arterial plaque was measured in 2 vascular beds (coronary and carotid) by computed tomography, and common carotid artery IMT was measured by B-mode ultrasonography, in 438 particip...
متن کاملFamily history of type 2 diabetes is associated with increased carotid artery intimal-medial thickness in Mexican Americans.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the joint risk of diabetes and atherosclerosis tracked within families, we assessed the correlation between a family history of diabetes and intimal-medial thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Study subjects included 620 nondiabetic individuals from 24 families enrolled in the San Antonio Family Heart Study. The thicknes...
متن کاملIncreased Carotid Intimal-Medial Thickness and Coronary Calcification Are Related in Young and Middle-Aged Adults
Background—Increased carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT) and coronary artery calcification (CAC) are used as 2 markers of early atherosclerosis. Our objectives were to assess whether increased IMT and CAC are related and to determine the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and carotid IMT in young adults. Methods and Results—A sample of 182 men and 136 women aged 33 to 42 years ...
متن کاملCarotid Artery Intimal-Medial Thickness Distribution in General Populations As Evaluated by B-Mode Ultrasound
Background and Purpose: B-mode ultrasound is a widely used technique for the clinical and epidemiological assessment of carotid atherosclerosis. This article provides a description of the distribution of carotid atherosclerosis in the general population. Methods: Intimal-medial arterial wall thickness was measured by B-mode real-time ultrasound as an index of atherosclerotic involvement in the ...
