Carotid 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 کاملCarotid artery intima-media thickness and cognition in cardiovascular disease.
BACKGROUND Increased carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is a non-invasive marker of systemic arterial disease. Increased IMT has been associated with atherosclerosis, abnormal arterial mechanics, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Given evidence of a relationship between cardiovascular health and attention-executive-psychomotor functioning, the purpose of this study was to examine IMT ...
متن کاملSnoring 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 کاملExtended-release niacin or ezetimibe and carotid intima-media thickness.
BACKGROUND Treatment added to statin monotherapy to further modify the lipid profile may include combination therapy to either raise the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level or further lower the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level. METHODS We enrolled patients who had coronary heart disease or a coronary heart disease risk equivalent, who were receiving long-term stati...
متن کاملShould we indeed measure carotid intima-media thickness for improving prediction of cardiovascular events after IMPROVE?
For 3 decades, the measurement of carotid intima-media hickness (CIMT) has been applied in cardiovascular reearch (1). Yet, there are still various questions regarding the IMT measurement (2,3). Two are addressed in the report y Baldassarre et al. (4) in this issue of the Journal: “What is the ‘best’ CIMT measure for increased cardiovascular risk?” and “Does a CIMT measurement help improve the ...
