Intima-Media-Thickness (IMT) bei Patienten mit vertebrobasilären und karotidalen Stenosen/Verschlüssen
Introduction: The Intima-Media-Thickness (IMT) of the commom carotid artery (CCA) is often used as a parameter for generalized atherosclerotic lesions of the vessel wall. It is possible to visualize the increase of the IMT in an early degree of athrosclerosis as a double line pattern in the …

The Association of Subclinical Atherosclerosis with Incident Heart Failure: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
… etiology for heart failure (HF). Greater carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), a measure of subclinical atherosclerosis, is associated with left ventricular myocardial dysfunction, a subclinical marker of HF. We investigated the association of carotid IMT with incident HF among middle-aged whites …

Investigating the Effects of High-Intensity Interval Training on Baroreflex Sensitivity
… distensibility, and compliance); however, CCA intima-media thickness (IMT) significantly improved. Systolic blood pressure, a major determinant of cvBRS, was unchanged, while resting heart rate appeared to improve following 12-weeks of HIIT. Therefore, these findings suggest that in this …

Risk Factors in using B-mode High-resolution Measurement of Common Carotid
… 조기에 진단하기 위한 선별 검사로 B-mode 초음파를 이용한 경동맥 내막-중막의 두께(Intima-Media Thickness, IMT)의 측정이 좋은 방법으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 2005년 1월부터 2005년 9월까지 A대학병원에서 IMT를 측정한 16∼81세 400명의 내원자를 대상으로 B-mode 초음파를 사용하여 경동맥에서 IMT를 측정하였고, 일반적 특성, 건강행위, 가족력 및 질병력, 임상화학적 특성이 IMT에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 남자 220명(55.0%), 여자 …

Data-Driven Insights into Spatial Patterns and Disease Etiologies of White Matter Hyperintensities
… usage for hypertension and cholesterol, intima media thickness (IMT), Alzheimer's disease polygenic risk score (AD PRS), circulatory diseases and other clinical measures that may illuminate the origins and progression of WMH. We have uncovered significant associations of location-specific …

Clinical assessment of arterial stiffness
… with age for arterial stiffness than intima media thickness (IMT). Case control studies investigating changes in subjects with PAD and CKD demonstrated a greater increase in arterial stiffness than IMT when compared to healthy controls. An epidemiological study, investigating the …

Ex-vivo 3D assessment of carotid stenosis with ultrasound
… be monitored by tracking changes in the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). Non-invasive peripheral vascular ultrasound (U/S) of the carotid artery is a non-invasive, cost effective, accepted means of measuring IMT. Traditionally, evaluation of IMT in the carotid has been limited to 2D U/S …

The association between blood pressure and vascular characteristics in children
… between blood pressure (BP) and arterial thickness and stiffuess in children. Common carotid artery (CCA) intima-media thickness (IMT) and distensibility (Dist), as well as systemic pulse wave velocity (PWV) were measured in 21 elevated blood pressure (EBP; BP ~ 95th percentile) and 83 …

Novel risk factors for atrial fibrillation in an urban population
… measured in participants of Paper III. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was measured in participants of Paper IV. All subjects were without history of AF, myocardial infarction and heart failure at study entry. A score of five ISPs (ceruloplasmin, fibrinogen, haptoglobin, orosomucoid and …

Cardiovascular Risk Genes in Prevention and Treatment Response
… The MI-gene-score associated with carotid-bulb-intima-media-thickness (IMT) (beta=0.038 standard deviations of IMT per MI-gene-score-quintile; P-trend=0.005) and plaque (odds-ratio per MI-gene-score-quintile=1.11; 95% confidence interval (CI):1.04-1.18; P=0.001) in multivariable models. It was …

Predictability of Cardiovascular Disease Event Rates by Common Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communties (ARIC) Study
<p><strong>Background:</strong> Carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT) is a non-invasive reliable predictor of the extent and severity of CVD. There is difficulty acquiring all measurements for validated three-site carotid IMT. More accessible one-site common carotid artery (CCA) IMT has not …
