Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Carotid Arterial Intima-Media Thickness in Predicting Clinical Coronary Events
Howard N. Hodis,Wendy J. Mack,Laurie LaBree,Robert H. Selzer,Chao-ran Liu,Ci-hua Liu,Stanley P. Azen +6 more
TL;DR: This long-term follow-up of the Cholesterol Lowering Atherosclerosis Study cohort indicated that progression of coronary artery disease was predictive of coronary events, and the objective was to determine whether carotid arterial intima-media thickness predicts coronary events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estrogen in the Prevention of Atherosclerosis: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Howard N. Hodis,Wendy J. Mack,Roger A. Lobo,Donna Shoupe,Alex Sevanian,Peter R. Mahrer,Robert H. Selzer,Chao-ran Liu,Ci-hua Liu,Stanley P. Azen +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of unopposed estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) on the progression of subclinical atherosclerosis in healthy postmenopausal women without preexisting cardiovascular disease were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beneficial effects of colestipol-niacin therapy on the common carotid artery. Two- and four-year reduction of intima-media thickness measured by ultrasound.
David H. Blankenhorn,Robert H. Selzer,Donald W. Crawford,J. D. Barth,Chao-ran Liu,Ci-hua Liu,Wendy J. Mack,P Alaupovic +7 more
TL;DR: Common carotid intima-media thickening can be reduced by colestipol-niacin treatment and two-year image-processed carOTid ultrasound trials can provide adequate power with 50 subjects per group to test for this treatment effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction in Carotid Arterial Wall Thickness Using Lovastatin and Dietary Therapy: A Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial
Howard N. Hodis,Wendy J. Mack,Laurie LaBree,Robert H. Selzer,Ci-hua Liu,Petar Alaupovic,Helenann Kwong-Fu,Stanley P. Azen +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence of benefit from lovastatin plus dietary therapy on early, preintrusive atherosclerosis is reported through the measurement of change in the carotid arterial intima-media thickness in 188 patients evaluated every 6 months for as long as 4 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of computerized edge tracking for quantifying intima-media thickness of the common carotid artery from B-mode ultrasound images
Robert H. Selzer,Howard N. Hodis,Helenann Kwong-Fu,Wendy J. Mack,Paul L. Lee,Chao-ran Liu,Ci-hua Liu +6 more
TL;DR: The new automated computerized edge tracking method presented in this paper represents an advance for image analysis of B-mode ultrasound images of common carotid IMT with measurement variability substantially reduced (2 to 4 times) compared with currently available manual methods.
