Snoring and carotid artery intima-media thickness.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS A growing body of evidence indicates that primary snoring (PS) may be the initial presentation of sleep-disordered breathing and can adversely affect an individual's health. Individuals with the sole diagnosis of PS were evaluated to determine if a relationship exists between snoring and thickening of the intima media of the carotid arteries. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional...
متن کاملThe association of carotid artery disease with snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea: definitions, pathogenesis and treatment
Introduction Cerebrovascular disease was the third most common cause of death among Australian males in 2005, accounting for 6.9% of all deaths and the second most common cause in females at 10.8%. Carotid atherosclerosis contributes the majority of the burden of cerebrovascular disease. Although traditional risk factors for carotid atherosclerosis such as smoking, hypertension and hyperlipidae...
متن کاملMultimodal optoacoustic and multiphoton microscopy of human carotid atheroma
Carotid artery atherosclerosis is a main cause of stroke. Understanding atherosclerosis biology is critical in the development of targeted prevention and treatment strategies. Consequently, there is demand for advanced tools investigating atheroma pathology. We consider hybrid optoacoustic and multiphoton microscopy for the integrated and complementary interrogation of plaque tissue constituent...
متن کاملIn reference to Snoring and carotid artery intima-media thickness.
We read with great interest the recent article by Deeb et al. regarding the relationship that exists between snoring and intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid arteries. The authors very clearly discussed the relationship between primary snoring and IMT of the carotid arteries. They concluded that the relationship between increased carotid IMT and serious health conditions, and nonapneic s...
متن کاملBacteria and coronary atheroma: more fingerprints but no smoking gun.
For the better part of 2 decades, scientists from many disciplines have explored the role of innate and acquired immunity in mediating vascular atherosclerosis.1–4 Remarkably, many of the distal mechanisms involved in the chronic inflammatory process that is atherosclerosis are mediated by the same cellular mechanisms that are “primed” to protect the body from microbial invasion. This recogniza...
