Objective: To investigate (a) the relation between intima-media thickness (IMT) in carotid arteries and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD); and (b) whether IMT is predictive of coronary ...

Introduction: The role of alcohol consumption as an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis remains controversial. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a recognized marker of atherosclerosis ...

Non-invasive imaging methods such as carotid intima-media thickness measurement might produce more reliable information in finding high-risk patients with FH. The potential market authorisation of ...

and carotid intima-media thickness. However, mean change in brachial-artery flow-mediated vasodilation during the 90 seconds after cuff release was significantly lower among ED patients (1.3% ...

randomized trial aimed at studying the effect of LDL-C reduction with simvastatin–ezetimibe versus simvastatin on carotid intima–media thickness (IMT). Despite a significant differential ...

From 576 RA patients carrying the mutant TT genotype of IL-33 rs3939286 polymorphism had a significantly lower carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) evaluated by carotid ultrasound, compared to the ...

Markers included high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), fibrinogen, D-dimer, coronary artery calcium, carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), carotid plaque and ...

Background: Around 9–15% of ischemic strokes are related to internal carotid artery (ICA)-stenosis ≥50%. However, the extent to which ICA-stenosis <50% causes ischemic cerebrovascular events is ...
