Increases in common carotid intima-media thickness (CC-IMT), as measured by B-mode ultrasonography, have been widely used in both population studies and clinical trials in the search for risk factors for early atherosclerosis progression and have been found to correlate with age and with high concentrations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, leukocytes, and hemoglobin. We have now investigated the relation between several baseline hemostatic and conventional risk factors and CC-IMT changes over 16 months in 64 patients with peripheral arterial disease randomly selected from the prospective PLAT study series.

Abstract
Increases in common carotid intima-media thickness (CC-IMT), as measured by B-mode ultrasonography, have been widely used in both population studies and clinical trials in the search for risk factors for early atherosclerosis progression and have been found to correlate with age and with high concentrations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, leukocytes, and hemoglobin. We have now investigated the relation between several baseline hemostatic and conventional risk factors and CC-IMT changes over 16 months in 64 patients with peripheral arterial disease randomly selected from the prospective PLAT study series.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
