OBJECTIVE: The contribution of atherosclerosis to the development of Abdominal Aortic
Aneurysms (AAA) is still controversial. Ultrasound scans can detect intima-media thickening …

Evidence is emerging that the contribution of atherosclerosis to the development of
abdominal aortic aneurysm may differ from that of other manifestations of arterial disease. B …

OBJECTIVE: Patients with aneurysmal and occlusive arterial disease have overlapping
cardiovascular risk profiles. The question remains how atherosclerosis is related to the …

Background Although patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) frequently have
coexisting systemic atherosclerosis, the dilatative manifestation of AAA is the opposite of the …

Aim Compare the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the internal carotid artery with the IMT of
the common and external carotid, vertebral and femoral arteries and the abdominal aorta to …

Objective—The pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation is poorly
understood. We investigated the relationship between carotid, femoral, and coronary …

OBJECTIVES: This research aims to study how carotid atherosclerosis is related to growth of
infrarenal aortic diameter and aneurysmal formation. DESIGN: Population-based follow-up …

Background and aims Individuals with atherosclerosis and stiffness often have increased
abdominal aortic diameters, but prospective evidence linking them to the risk of abdominal …

Atherosclerosis was considered the main cause of abdominal aorta aneurysms. Many
researchers suggest the presence of the association between these two entities. The aim of …

Background The purpose of our research was to study the relationship between the
diameter of abdominal aorta (AA) and subclinical atherosclerosis in patients without …
