The recently discovered longitudinal displacement of the common carotid arterial wall (ie,
the motion along the same plane as the blood flow), may be associated with incident …

OBJECTIVE: The link between periodontal disease and atherosclerosis has not yet been
clarified, though systemic inflammation seems to be the common soil for both conditions …

Motion extracted from the carotid artery wall provides unique information for vascular health
evaluation. Carotid artery longitudinal wall motion corresponds to the multiphasic arterial …

Objective—Arterial mechanical properties are of growing interest in the understanding of
cardiovascular disease development. We aimed to determine the predictive value of carotid …

The aim of this study was to clinically investigate the association between the risk factors of
early-stage atherosclerosis and the two-dimensional (2-D) movement of the artery wall. To …

Longitudinal motion of the artery, a cyclical, bidirectional movement of the wall in the long
axis of the artery, has recently gained interest in the characterization of artery function. The …

Clinical and engineering studies typically assume that the common carotid artery (CCA) is
straight enough to assume fully developed flow, yet recent studies have demonstrated the …

OBJECTIVE: Velocity vector imaging can be used to assess longitudinal common carotid
artery (CCA) wall movement (tLoD) in man. To deepen our mechanistic understanding, we …

The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study is a prospective investigation of the
etiology and natural history of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease in four US …

Putative changes in the multiphasic pattern of longitudinal movement of the common carotid
artery wall in the normal aging process are unknown. The aim of this study was to explore …
