Geometric factors of the bifurcation in carotid atherogenesis.
In vitro studies have demonstrated that geometry of the carotid bifurcation predicts blood flow alterations associated with atherosclerotic plaque formation. We investigated intraindividual asymmetry of carotid atherosclerosis by measuring geometric aspects of the carotid bifurcation. We measured diameter stenosis, the internal carotid artery/common carotid artery area ratio, and the angle of t...
متن کاملA Semi-automatic Method for Segmentation of the Carotid Bifurcation and Bifurcation Angle Quantification on Black Blood MRA
Quantitative information about the geometry of the carotid artery bifurcation may help in predicting the development of atherosclerosis. A geodesic active contours based segmentation method combining both gradient and intensity information was developed for semi-automatic, accurate and robust quantification of the carotid bifurcation angle in Black Blood MRA data. The segmentation method was ev...
متن کاملRelationship between intima-media thickness in the common carotid artery and atherosclerosis in the carotid bifurcation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An increase in intima-media thickness (IMT) in the common carotid artery (CCA) is commonly used as a marker of atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between IMT in the CCA and atherosclerosis in the carotid bifurcation. METHODS 182 consecutive patients (mean age, 67 years) referred for carotid duplex scanning were included. We me...
متن کاملCarotid Artery Intimal-Medial Thickness Distribution in General Populations As Evaluated by B-Mode Ultrasound
Background and Purpose: B-mode ultrasound is a widely used technique for the clinical and epidemiological assessment of carotid atherosclerosis. This article provides a description of the distribution of carotid atherosclerosis in the general population. Methods: Intimal-medial arterial wall thickness was measured by B-mode real-time ultrasound as an index of atherosclerotic involvement in the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Effect of Simplified and Patient-specific Arterial Geometry on Hemodynamic Flow in Stenosed Carotid Bifurcation Arteries
Numerous CFD studies have been performed on the motivation to elucidate the role of hemodynamic forces in the development of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries and the carotid bifurcation artery. In order to improve CFD predictions, and to consider CFD as a clinical diagnostic or treatment planning tool, there is a need to ensure its accuracy and reliability through a systematic approach ...
متن کاملUrinary Sodium and Potassium Excretion and Carotid Atherosclerosis in Chinese Men and Women
Limited studies have examined the association between sodium (Na) and potassium (K) levels and the risk of atherosclerosis. This study examined whether higher Na and Na/K levels and low K levels were independent risk factors for atherosclerosis. This community-based cross-sectional study included 3290 subjects (1067 men and 2223 women) 40 to 75 years of age in Guangzhou, China, between 2011 and...
