Intima media thickness, pulse wave velocity, and flow mediated dilation
The identification of vascular alterations at the sub-clinical, asymptomatic stages are potentially useful for screening, prevention and improvement of cardiovascular risk stratification beyond classical risk factors.Increased intima-media thickness of the common carotid artery is a well-known marker of early atherosclerosis, which significantly correlates with the development of cardiovascular...
متن کاملIntima-Media Thickness and Pulse Wave Velocity in Hypertensive Adolescents
Increased intima-media thickness (IMT) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) are noninvasive markers of early arterial wall alteration and are more widely used in adult clinical research. We investigated whether IMT and PWV are useful predictors of cardiovascular risk in hypertensive adolescents. Fifteen hypertensive adolescents (13-18 yr old, systolic BP > or = 140 mmHg, diastolic BP > or = 90 mmHg) a...
متن کاملSlow Coronary Flow is Related to Increased Carotid Intima-Media Thickness but Not Pulse Wave Velocity
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Slow coronary flow (SCF) is characterized by delayed contrast dye opacification without significant stenosis of epicardial coronary arteries. However, the pathophysiology and clinical implications of SCF are not fully understood. Some reports have suggested that SCF might be caused by atherosclerosis in the coronary artery microvasculature. Measuring carotid intima-med...
متن کاملPulse Wave Velocity, Intima Media Thickness, and Flow-mediated Dilatation in Patients with Normotensive Normoglycemic Inflammatory Bowel Disease
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have increased risk for atherosclerosis. The cause of increased cardiovascular risk is not fully understood. Chronic inflammatory process may predispose to atherosclerosis. We aimed primarily to investigate subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with IBD, by measuring carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), carotid intima media thick...
متن کاملClinical significance of flow-mediated dilation, brachial intima-media thickness and pulse wave velocity in patients with and without coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Little is known about the interrelationships among brachial flow-mediated vasodilatation (bFMD), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and brachial intima-media thickness (bIMT) in patients with and without coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS Two-hundred consecutive patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) were enrolled as the CAD group and 50 age-, sex- and b...
