While risk scores are invaluable tools for adapted preventive strategies, a significant gap
exists between predicted and actual event rates. Additional tools to further stratify the risk of …

Local pulse wave velocity (PWV) is evolving as one of the important determinants of arterial
hemodynamics, localized vessel stiffening associated with several pathologies, and a host …

Aims Common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCIMT) is widely used as a surrogate
marker of atherosclerosis, given its predictive association with cardiovascular disease …

Objectives: This study sought to assess the association between long-term radiation
exposure in the catheterization laboratory (cath lab) and early signs of subclinical …

Atherosclerosis underlies most myocardial infarctions and ischemic strokes. The timing of
onset and the rate of progression of atherosclerosis differ between individuals and among …

Objective: Non-invasive measures of common carotid artery properties, such as diameter
and distension, and pulse pressure, have been widely used to determine carotid artery …

Duplex ultrasound is an evolving technology that allows the assessment of volumetric blood
flow in the carotid and vertebral arteries during a range of interventions along the spectrum …

The carotid artery is a major blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain. Plaque buildup in
the arteries can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, stroke, ruptured …

Background Carotid intima–media thickness (cIMT) is a noninvasive marker of
cardiovascular risk. The cIMT may be increased in patients with harmonisation, but little is …
