INTRODUCTION: Late cardiovascular complications are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients treated for common malignancies of childhood. Late cardiotoxicity include increased development of atherosclerosis and atherosclerosis - rel...
The effect of chronic metabolic acidosis (MA) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the setting of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is largely unknown. Therefore, we aimed to study this relationship in nondialysis CKD patients.This cross-sectional, single-c...

BACKGROUND: Arterial stiffness is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study is to investigate the arterial stiffness and myocardial deformation in patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus type 2 bef...
. Subclinical atherosclerosis and long-term glycemic variability have been reported to predict incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population. However, these associations have not been investigated in patients with type 2 diabetes wi...

Carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) measurements provide a non-invasive assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of the study was to assess the inter- and intra-observer variability of automated C-IMT measurements undertaken by two novic...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous coronary interventional procedures need advance planning prior to stenting or an endarterectomy. Cardiologists use intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for screening, risk assessment and stratification of coronary ar...
MOTIVATION: The carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is an important biomarker for cardiovascular diseases and stroke monitoring. This study presents an intelligence-based, novel, robust, and clinically-strong strategy that uses a combination of dee...
The measurement of Carotid Intima Media Thickness (IMT) on Common Carotid Artery (CCA) is a principle marker of risk of cardiovascular disease. This paper presents a novel method of using deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for identification and...

OBJECTIVE: Atherosclerosis (AS) is the main pathological basis of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, and the intimal thickness (IT) of large arteries is regarded as a powerful evaluation indicator for AS. We established an effective neural net...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one killer in the USA, yet it is largely preventable (World Health Organization 2011). To prevent CVD, carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) imaging, a noninvasive ultrasonography method, has proven to be cl...
