Carotid Artery Hypertrophy and Atherosclerosis
Central blood pressure (BP) has been shown to predict cardiovascular disease clinical outcomes better than brachial BP in studies that demonstrate expected pulse pressure (PP) amplification. The likely underlying mechanism for this observation is a closer relation of central BP to preclinical cardiac and vascular disease because of its more accurate representation of loading conditions on the h...
متن کاملCompensatory carotid artery dilatation in early atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND From pathological studies of coronary arteries, it has been recognized that progressive plaque development may be compensated for by an increase of the arterial diameter. However, the dynamics of this process have not been investigated, and it is not known whether compensatory dilatation is a general pathomechanism in human arteries. METHODS AND RESULTS Using a high-resolution dupl...
متن کاملRisk factors for extracranial carotid artery atherosclerosis.
We related risk factors, cardiovascular symptoms, and coronary status to the extent of extracranial carotid atherosclerosis as measured by B-mode ultrasonography in 376 volunteers hospitalized for elective coronary angiography. In a first analysis, we correlated risk factors and cardiovascular symptoms with carotid atherosclerosis. Univariate analysis showed that relations between many continuo...
متن کاملBilateral symmetry of human carotid artery atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Atherosclerosis is a principal cause of stroke and myocardial infarction. The carotid arteries provide a site at which progression of atherosclerosis can be monitored reproducibly and noninvasively. This study was conducted to determine the similarity of atherosclerotic plaques in the left and right carotid arteries. This question was explored with the use of perfusion-fi...
متن کاملPulsatile tinnitus and carotid artery atherosclerosis.
This cross-sectional study was designed to determine the prevalence of carotid artery atherosclerosis in patients with pulsatile tinnitus. All patients who had pulsatile tinnitus and presented to the otolaryngology clinic of Rasoul Akram Hospital, Iran University of Medical Sciences, and to some other private hospitals and clinics were referred to a tertiary referral center. From November 1999 ...
