Objective: Sonographic evaluation of arterial wall morphology and elasticity is increasingly accepted as a non-invasive tool in cardiovascular assessment. Several studies suggest that intima-media thickness (IMT) and arterial elasticity indices may sensitively reflect different vasculopathic processes in children. However, normative values and the impact of adolescent growth are largely unknown.

Increased intima-media thickness of the carotid arteries (cIMT) has been found in young adults with childhood-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD). The disease stage at which these patients first develop abnormalities of arterial texture is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the onset and character of arterial changes in children aged 10 to 20 yr with different stages of CKD and to identify risk factors for early arteriopathy.

The objective of this cross-sectional controlled study was to evaluate the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (cIMT) and superficial femoral artery (fIMT), as well as the elastic properties of the common carotid artery, in children with essential arterial hypertension. The study included 49 children with newly detected essential hypertension [mean age 14.5 (range 6-20) years] and 61 healthy normotensive children [mean age 13.
