Abstract Purpose of Review Diabetes is a common and prevalent medical condition as it
affects many lives around the globe. Specifically, type-2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by …

Background We hypothesized that measures of common carotid artery echolucency and
grayscale texture features were associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors …

Background and aims Sedentary lifestyle, unlike leisure time physical activity (PA), is
associated with atherosclerosis progression. Regarding the interrelationship between …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of grayscale median
(GSM) measurements across different ultrasound (US) systems and effects of gain on GSM …

Objectives Although carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT) is a widely used
determinant of subclinical atherosclerosis, gray‐scale median of the intima‐media complex …

Recent studies have suggested that textural characteristics of the intima-media complex
(IMC) may be more useful than the intima-media thickness (IMT) in evaluating …

Objective—We evaluated the biological effects of low-dose methotrexate on 3 novel brachial
artery grayscale ultrasound measures that may indicate subclinical arterial injury. Approach …

Arterial stiffness, echolucency and texture features are altered with hypertension and
associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. The relationship between these …

Background It has been long hypothesized that emotional factors and depression may play
role in the development of cardiovascular diseases. Aim The aim of this study was to …

Background and aims The role of dietary patterns, in cardiovascular diseases has been
challenged. The role of breakfast as an element of balance energy intake has gained …
