The effect of smoking on carotid intima-media thickness progression rate and rate of lumen diameter reduction.
(2015) In European Journal of Internal Medicine- Abstract
- The purpose of the study was to investigate the long-term associations between smoking habits, environmental tobacco smoke exposure (ETS), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) progression rate, and rate of lumen diameter reduction in the carotid artery during a 16-year follow-up. Another objective was to investigate if an effect of smoking on progression rate could be explained by increased low grade inflammation.
