Reproducibility of carotid intima-media thickness measurements in young adults.
PURPOSE To prospectively compare the reproducibility of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurements obtained from the right and left carotid arteries in young adults by using ultrasonographic (US) images acquired at the maximum dimension, minimum dimension, and electrocardiographically (ECG)-triggered cardiac end diastole. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was HIPAA compliant and approv...
متن کاملCarotid intima-media thickness measurements: techniques and clinical relevance.
Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that is responsible for most cardiovascular events and stroke. Epidemiologic studies and intervention trials based on the incidence of acute vascular disease end points require years of follow-up, the participation of large populations, or both. As a consequence, such studies consume considerable time and financial resources. The use of surrogate markers, t...
متن کاملCarotid Intima-Media Thickness Studies: Study Design and Data Analysis
BACKGROUND Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurements have been widely used as primary endpoint in studies into the effects of new interventions as alternative for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There are no accepted standards on the use of CIMT measurements in intervention studies and choices in the design and analysis of a CIMT study are generally based on experience and expe...
متن کاملCarotid intima-media thickness measurements in intervention studies: design options, progression rates, and sample size considerations: a point of view.
BACKGROUND Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurements are currently widely used in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to study the efficacy of interventions. In designing a RCT with CIMT as a primary outcome, several ultrasound options may be considered. We discuss the various options and provide a pooled estimate of CIMT progression. In addition, we quantify the effect of these choice...
