Higher WBC counts are associated with greater arterial stiffness measured by baPWV, and a modest proportion of the mortality risk related to elevated WBC counts appears to be mediated through increased arterial stiffness.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD), and hyperlipidemia (HLD) frequently coexists. Shear wave elastography (SWE) quantifies carotid stiffness and may improve CVD risk stratification. To evaluate the impact of HLD on carotid stiffness in T2DM using SWE....

Inflammation is strongly linked to atherosclerosis and acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study investigated the association of the monocyte-to-HDL ratio (MHR), an inflammatory marker, and common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT), a measure of atherosclerosis, both individually and in combination, with...

Insulin resistance surrogate markers, including the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, TyG-BMI, and TG/HDL-C ratio, have been associated with aortic stiffness in high-risk populations. Their comparative associations and incremental discrimination in asymptomatic adults remain unclear. We therefore compared these mar...

Objective To investigate the associations of continuous ultrasound-derived fat fraction (UDFF) with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and prevalent carotid plaque in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), assess the incremental statistical information provided by UDFF in primary and broader traditional vasc...

Atherosclerotic diseases are a leading cause of death worldwide, highlighting an urgent need for the early detection of pan-vascular atherosclerotic plaques in asymptomatic individuals. This study aimed to investigate the association between a novel biomarker, the pan-vascular atherosclerosis risk score (PARS, the...
