Risk factors of carotid plaque and carotid common artery intima‐media thickening in a high‐stroke‐risk population
Introduction To analyze the risk factors of carotid plaque (CP) and carotid common artery intima-media thickening (CCAIMT) and the association between the risk factors and CP numbers and the side of the CCAIMT in a high-stroke-risk population. Methods Carotid ultrasonography was conducted in 2025 participants with high stroke risk. Participants were divided into different groups according to ...
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 کاملCarotid intima-media thickness and plaque in cardiovascular risk assessment.
Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has been shown to predict cardiovascular (CV) risk in multiple large studies. Careful evaluation of CIMT studies reveals discrepancies in the comprehensiveness with which CIMT is assessed-the number of carotid segments evaluated (common carotid artery [CCA], internal carotid artery [ICA], or the carotid bulb), the type of measurements made (mean or maximum ...
متن کاملCarotid intima-media thickness and carotid plaque represent different adaptive responses to traditional cardiovascular risk factors
AIM To assess the effects of each traditional cardiovascular risk factor (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and smoking), including the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and to assess the degree of carotid plaque occurrence. METHODS A total of 553 outpatients (216 men and 337 women; mean age 67.06 ± 12.44 years) who underwent a ca...
متن کاملCommon carotid artery intima-media thickness and the risk of stroke recurrence.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Increased common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) has been associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. We investigated the relationship between CCA-IMT and recurrent stroke in a cohort of ischemic stroke patients. METHODS High-resolution B-mode ultrasonographic measurements of the CCA-IMT were performed in a consecutive series o...
