Carotid intima media thickness is in a relation to risk factors for coronary artery disease.

Introduction: Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a double line pattern measured from the lumen-intima to media-adventitia interface. Measuring CIMT with B-mode ultrasound can detect early arterial wall changes. We aimed to measure CIMT in manifested atherosclerotic disease and find a relation to present risk factors.

Special Conditions in Venous Thrombembolism - Case Series.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a preventable cause of in-hospital death, and one of the most prevalent vascular diseases. There is a lack of knowledge with regards to contemporary presentation, management, and outcomes of patients with VTE. Many clinically important subgroups (including the elderly, those with recent bleeding, renal insufficiency, disseminated malignancy or pregnant patients) have been under-represented in randomized clinical trials.
