Background Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is a sub-clinical radiologic marker of
atherosclerosis in children. It is associated with adult-onset vascular disease. Objective To …

Pulse wave imaging (PWI) is an ultrasound imaging modality that estimates the wall stiffness
of an imaged arterial segment by tracking the pulse wave propagation. The aim of the …

Ultrasound elastography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that maps
viscoelastic properties to characterize tissues and diseases. Elastography can be divided …

Objectives Assess carotid artery strain and motion in people living with HIV as markers of
premature aging using ultrasound noninvasive vascular elastography (NIVE). Methods …

Imaging arterial mechanical properties may improve vascular disease diagnosis. Pulse
wave velocity (PWV) is a marker of arterial stiffness linked to cardiovascular mortality. Pulse …

Introduction Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly prevalent in obese
adolescents. Increased systemic inflammation and decreased gut microbial diversity linked …

Objectives To evaluate carotid stiffening in participants without conventional cardiovascular
risk factors (CVRFs) by using ultrafast pulse wave velocity (ufPWV). Methods The present …

Introduction Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly prevalent in obese
adolescents. Increased systemic inflammation and decreased gut microbial diversity linked …

Background: Childhood obesity is linked to higher adult mortality and morbidity from
atherosclerosis. It is primordial to detect at-risk children earlier-on to prevent disease …

Background: There is a need for a specific atherosclerotic risk assessment for people living
with HIV (PLWH). Setting: A machine learning classification model was applied to PLWH …
