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 ...

Main outcome measures ICVD events, including coronary heart disease and ischaemic stroke. Results Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) at baseline was significantly associated with the risk of ICVD ...

The segmentation of ultrasound images is essential for accurately measuring the intima-media thickness (IMT) and identifying the boundaries of the carotid artery's lumen and surrounding tissues.

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the carotid intima-media thickness (c-IMT) as potential marker of cardiovascular damage in SSc patients. Methods Between April and July 2021, 14 ...

A common genetic pathway may account for increased risk for atherosclerotic disease in patients with chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain.

The ENHANCE trial is a randomized study aimed at studying the effect of ezetimibe on top of simvastatin versus simvastatin on carotid intima–media thickness in 720 patients with heterozygous ...

Background Longitudinal studies of the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) change in RA suggested a role for inflammation in atherosclerosis progression. However, data on well controlled joint ...

We assessed indices of vascular health (central systolic blood pressure (SBP) and arterial stiffness as well as carotid intima-medial thickness (cIMT)) in addition to cardiovascular risk factors of ...
