Snoring and carotid artery intima-media thickness.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS A growing body of evidence indicates that primary snoring (PS) may be the initial presentation of sleep-disordered breathing and can adversely affect an individual's health. Individuals with the sole diagnosis of PS were evaluated to determine if a relationship exists between snoring and thickening of the intima media of the carotid arteries. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional...
متن کاملCarotid artery Intima-Media thickness and cardiovascular risk factors in chronic hemodialysis patients
Introduction: Common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) correlates with cardiovascular mortality in patients under hemodialysis. In this investigation, we evaluated relationship between CCA-IMT with dependent and independent cardiovascular risk factors in chronic hemodialysis patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 51 chronic hemodialysis patients, (31 males and 20 fema...
متن کاملOccupational mobility and carotid artery intima-media thickness: findings from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study.
OBJECTIVE To examine whether a 10-year change in occupational standing is related to carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) 5 years later. METHODS Data were obtained from 2350 participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study. Occupational standing was measured at the Year 5 and 15 CARDIA follow-up examinations when participants were 30.2 (standard devia...
متن کاملCarotid artery intima-media thickness and lacunar versus nonlacunar infarcts.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Increases in the thickness of the intima and media of the carotid artery have been associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in subjects without a history of cardiovascular disease. Lacunar infarcts, one of the most common subtype of ischemic stroke, show unique pathological and clinicoradiological characteristics. The present study examines th...
متن کاملToll-like receptor polymorphisms and carotid artery intima-media thickness.
Toll-like Receptor Polymorphisms and Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness To the Editor: Chronic inflammation represents a hallmark of atherosclerosis. Thus, there is growing interest in the role of innate immune defense mechanisms in arterial plaque formation, and several studies directly implicate signaling by toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. However, these ...
