Aim: To determine borderline values of intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid arteries (CCA) in Moscow citizens without clinical symptoms of atherosclerosis.
Material And Methods: A total of 885 (277 males and 608 females) Moscow citizens aged 20-79 years free of clinical symptoms of atherosclerosis participated in population-based epidemiological trial. CCA IMT was measured at ultrasonic scanning of the carotid arteries in high-resolution regimen.
Results: The trial provided data on variability of CCA IMT borderline values in different age groups of adult Moscow metaethnic population without clinical symptoms of atherosclerosis with gender reference. Quartile distribution of CCA IMT values enabled primary evaluation of predisposition of the population studied to atherosclerosis.
Conclusion: This pilot study is the first to give Russian data on variability of population borderline values of CCA IMT obtained in the study of a representative sample. Russian data give additional material to European geographic gradiet CCA IMT and allow more accurate ultrasonographic identification of predisposition to atherosclerosis in persons with silent disease.

Relationship Between Carotid Artery Remodeling Characteristics and Early Carotid Atherosclerosis: An Ultrasonographic Multicenter Study.

Department of Vascular Ultrasonography, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Objectives: This study analyzed carotid artery remodeling characteristics in early carotid atherosclerosis (ECAS).
Methods: The 1021 participants were evaluated using ultrasonography and categorized into three groups: Group A, 391 participants with increased intima-media thickness (IMT); Group B, 300 participants with atherosclerotic plaque only on the carotid bulb (CB); and the control group (330 participants). The ratios of the diameters in the CB to those in the common carotid artery (D) and internal carotid artery (D) were defined as carotid index1 (CI) and 2 (CI).

Objectives: The enormous burden that cardiovascular diseases put on individuals and societies warrants reliable biomarkers of disease risk to optimize disease prevention. We studied longitudinal movement (LMov) in arterial walls using ultrasound of the common carotid artery (CCA). We believe that LMov could be a sensitive biomarker of cardiovascular health and in this study, we evaluate the intra-observer repeatability and inter-observer precision of our method.

Background: During the last two decades, a few studies have evaluated the common carotid artery (CCA) intima-media thickness (IMT) in women with previous history of pre-eclampsia (pPE) in comparison to women with uncomplicated pregnancies, providing not univocal results. This systematic review and meta-analysis has been designed to summarize the main findings of these studies and to examine the overall influence of pPE on CCA-IMT.
Methods: All studies assessing CCA-IMT in pPE women in comparison to women who had uncomplicated pregnancies, selected from PubMed and EMBASE databases, were included.
Mediative role of body mass index in cardiorespiratory fitness-associated vascular remodeling in youth.

Background: Data on fitness-associated arterial remodeling in children is limited. We assessed the relation between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and intima-media thickness (IMT), diameter, IMT:diameter-ratio (IDR), and tensile stress of the common carotid artery (CCA) in 697 healthy German schoolchildren. Further, we explored how body mass index (BMI) may influence these associations.
