INTRODUCTION Endothelial dysfunction and increased intima-media thickness are early findings in the development of atherosclerosis that can be assessed non-invasively by echography. The aim of this study was to investigate endothelial function and intima-media thickness, and the relation between these processes and cardiovascular risk factors in patients without clinical atherosclerosis. PATI...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Carotid intima-media thickness as measured with ultrasonography is an inexpensive and noninvasive predictor of cardiovascular events. The objectives of this study were to determine the population reference ranges of carotid intima-media thickness for individuals aged 35-84 years in Spain and to analyze the association of carotid intima-media thickness with cardiovasc...
Vinculin- and caldesmon-immunoreactive forms and actin isoform patterns were studied in samples of normal and atherosclerotic human aorta. After removal of adventitia and endothelium, the remaining tissue was divided into three layers: media, muscular-elastic (adjacent to media) intima, and subendothelial (juxtaluminal) intima. In media of normal aorta, meta-vinculin accounted for 41.0 +/- 0.9%...
OBJECTIVE To describe and test a practical protocol to measure common carotid intima-media thickness that uses the combined values of two longitudinal examination angles to increase sensitivity. METHOD Between February and September 2005, 206 patients underwent duplex scan examination of carotid vessels, and the intima-media thickness of 407 common carotids were measured in three angles: tran...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the carotid artery intima media thickness and serum lipids in pediatric patients with epilepsy treated with valproic acid. The study included 44 pediatric epileptic and 40 healthy children. Intima media thickness of left common carotid artery and fasting lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipopr...
BACKGROUND Ultrasonographic assessments of intima-media thickness and plaques in the carotid artery are widely used as surrogate markers for coronary atherosclerosis, but prospective evaluations are scarce and appear to be lacking in patients with coronary artery disease. Ultrasonographic evaluations of femoral vascular changes have not been studied prospectively. METHODS AND RESULTS In the A...
Objective: A magnesium deficiency is known to be involved in many abnormalities in the post-menopausal women. Previous studies proposed that magnesium (Mg) might prevent atherosclerosis. In this study the efficacy of serum magnesium level and its relation with carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) in post-menopausal women was evaluated. Methods: Eighty Iranian Postmenopausal women were included...
Brachiocephalic arteries in quails are large arteries which are arising separately from the aortic arch. The aim of the present study was to determine the histomorphometric aspects of brachiocephalic arteries in the Japanese quail. The different layers of the brachiocephalic artery were studied quantitatively in 10, 20 and 60 days-old Japanese quail; (n = 6) and both sexes. Luminal diameter, th...
INTRODUCTION The measurement of carotid artery intima-media thickness in children and adolescents has attracted a great deal of research and clinical interest in recent years, because it can provide evidence that early arterial lesions are already present in asymptomatic subjects who have risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate possible correlati...
