Increased arterial stiffness is independently related to cerebrovascular disease and aneurysms of the abdominal aorta: the Second Manifestations of Arterial Disease (SMART) StudyJ M Dijk
Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, Huispostnummer Str 6 131, PO Box 85060, 3508 BA Utrecht, The Netherlands
Stroke 35:1642-6. 2004..Arterial stiffness is a risk factor for stroke and myocardial infarction. We investigated whether carotid arterial stiffness is related to other localizations of manifest arterial disease...
Carotid stiffness indicates risk of ischemic stroke and TIA in patients with internal carotid artery stenosis: the SMART studyJoke M Dijk
Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, Huispostnummer Str 6 131, Postbus 85060, 3508 BA Utrecht, The Netherlands
Stroke 35:2258-62. 2004..We cross-sectionally investigated whether carotid stiffness is associated with previous ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in patients with a carotid artery stenosis of at least 50%...
Carotid intima-media thickness, arterial stiffness and risk of cardiovascular disease: current evidenceMichiel L Bots
Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University of Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands
J Hypertens 20:2317-25. 2002..We aimed at providing an overview of epidemiological data on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and arterial stiffness measurements and their relation to risk of cardiovascular disease...
Hemoglobin and atherosclerosis in patients with manifest arterial disease. The SMART-studyJ M Dijk
Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University, Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Atherosclerosis 188:444-9. 2006..02 [95% CI: 0.89; 1.16]). CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that in patients with manifest arterial disease, increasing hemoglobin levels are associated with reduced severity of atherosclerosis...
Carotid stiffness and the risk of new vascular events in patients with manifest cardiovascular disease. The SMART studyJoke M Dijk
Julius Centre for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Centre Utrecht, Huispostnummer Str. 6.131, PO Box 85060, 3508 BA Utrecht, The Netherlands
Eur Heart J 26:1213-20. 2005..However, in patients with low SBP, decreased carotid stiffness may indicate a decreased risk of vascular events...
Carotid intima-media thickness and the risk of new vascular events in patients with manifest atherosclerotic disease: the SMART studyJoke M Dijk
Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, Huispostnummer Str. 6.131, PO Box 85060, 3508 BA Utrecht, The Netherlands
Eur Heart J 27:1971-8. 2006..CONCLUSION: Common CIMT is associated with the occurrence of new vascular events, mostly for ischaemic stroke, in patients with manifest arterial disease. This relation does not appear to depend on the presence of plaques...
Manual B-mode versus automated radio-frequency carotid intima-media thickness measurementsSoner Dogan
Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
J Am Soc Echocardiogr 22:1137-44. 2009..Automated measurements with radiofrequency (RF) ultrasound have been suggested as an alternative. The aim of this study was to compare these methods in terms of risk-factor relations and associations with future events...
Carotid arterial stiffness is marginally higher in the metabolic syndrome and markedly higher in type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients with manifestations of arterial diseaseFabrice M A C Martens
Department of Internal Medicine, Section of Vascular Medicine, University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands
Atherosclerosis 197:646-53. 2008..Therefore, in the present study we determined whether the metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) are associated with carotid artery stiffness in patients with already clinical manifestations of arterial disease...
Carotid intima-media thickness is different in large- and small-vessel ischemic stroke: the SMART studyD Martijn O Pruissen
Department of Neurology, Rudolf Magnus Institute of Neuroscience, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Stroke 38:1371-3. 2007..Common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA IMT) is a marker of atherosclerosis. Our aim was to compare CCA IMT between SVD and LVD patients...
