متن کاملCarotid Intima-Media Thickness in Master Athletes
BACKGROUND Carotid Intima Media Thickness (IMT) is currently used to assess the relationship between progression of coronary and systemic atherosclerosis. To date, however, the possible impact of regular physical activity (PA) on this parameter has not been well estimated. OBJECTIVES Our study aims to examine this aspect especially in the absence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. PATIENT...
