0895-7061/07/$32.00 doi:10.1016/j.amjhyper.2007.05.011 risk of the secondary, composite endpoint (death, stroke, or myocardial infarction) was determined by diabetes (P .008) and CIMT (P .010). Nearly 99% of patients with “low CIMT” ( 1.13 mm) survived for 5 years, versus 78% with “high CIMT” 1.13 mm (log-rank test; P .001). For the secondary, composite endpoint (death, stroke, or myocardial infarction), the event-free survival rate was 95% (low CIMT), versus 74% after 5 years (high CIMT) (P .008).

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...

Background & Aims: Diabetes is a very important factor for stroke due to blocked blood vessels. It can involve systemic and cerebrovascular arteries at the same time via microangiopathy and macroangiopathy. This project aimed to compare the intima-media thickness of carotid artery in children with diabetes type and the control group. Methods: In this case-control study, 50 children with the age...

Background and Aim: A lot of studies is done about various components of the metabolic syndrome in association with non-alcoholic fatty liver due to increasing carotid intima media thickness as a risk factor of cardiovascular diseases. But few studies have been done on the role of non-alcoholic fatty liver as an independent risk factor for carotid intima media thickening. The present stud...
