Carotid intima-media thickness as a surrogate endpoint.
1. CIMT is not a standardized technology. Their meta-regression included studies with different imaging and measurement techniques. By grouping them, the authors created a null bias. Furthermore, some laboratories have highly reproducible techniques and excellent quality assurance procedures. Those laboratories have reliably reported strong relationships between changes in CVD risk factors, cha...
متن کاملCarotid intima-media thickness as a surrogate marker of cardiovascular disease in diabetes
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is increasingly used as a surrogate marker for atherosclerosis. Its use relies on its ability to predict future clinical cardiovascular end points. METHODS This review examines the evidence linking CIMT as a surrogate marker of vascular complications in people with type...
متن کاملCarotid intima-media thickness as a biomarker of subclinical atherosclerosis.
Intima-media thickness of the carotid artery (CIMT) and its increase is associated with several cardiovascular risk factors and manifest cardiovascular diseases. CIMT is suggested to be an important biomarker of subclinical atherosclerosis. CIMT is measured in B-mode ultrasound images of the carotid tree as a typical double line of the arterial wall. CIMT is best visible in the measurement segm...

متن کاملCarotid Intima-Media Thickness in Master Athletes
BACKGROUND Carotid Intima Media Thickness (IMT) is currently used to assess the relationship between progression of coronary and systemic atherosclerosis. To date, however, the possible impact of regular physical activity (PA) on this parameter has not been well estimated. OBJECTIVES Our study aims to examine this aspect especially in the absence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. PATIENT...
