Carotid intima-media thickness and presence or absence of plaque improves prediction of coronary heart disease risk: the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities) study.

OBJECTIVES We evaluated whether carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and the presence or absence of plaque improved coronary heart disease (CHD) risk prediction when added to traditional risk factors (TRF). BACKGROUND Traditional CHD risk prediction schemes need further improvement as the majority of the CHD events occur in the "low" and "intermediate" risk groups. On an ultrasound scan, CIM...

Comparison of coronary artery calcium presence, carotid plaque presence, and carotid intima-media thickness for cardiovascular disease prediction in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.

BACKGROUND Presence of coronary artery calcium (CAC), carotid plaque, and increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) may indicate elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk; however, no large studies have compared them directly. This study compares predictive uses of CAC presence, carotid artery plaque presence, and high IMT for incident CVD events. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants were f...

Associations between Carotid Artery Plaque Score, Carotid Hemodynamics and Coronary Heart Disease.

BACKGROUND The carotid artery plaque score (PS) is an independent predictor of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). This study aims to evaluate the combination of PS and carotid hemodynamics to predict CHD. METHODS A total of 476 patients who underwent carotid ultrasonography and coronary angiography were divided into two groups depending on the presence of CHD. PS, carotid intima-media thickness, a...

Correlation between vitamin D and carotid artery intima media thickness in patients with ischemic stroke

Several underlying environmental and modifiable factors such as elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP), dyslipidemia, smoking and increased body mass index (BMI) play a significant role in the progression of the atherogenic process. 2 Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque assessment by cervical ultrasonography is a noninvasive, feasible, and accurate method for detecting asymptomatic ...

Carotid 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...
