Assessment of Carotid Intima-Media Thickness as an Early Marker Of Vascular Damage In Hypertensive Children

Abstract: BackgroundThe increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) correlates with the presence of atherosclerosis in adults and describes vascular abnormalities in both hypertensive children and adolescents.ObjectiveTo assess CIMT as an early marker of atherosclerosis and vascular damage in hypertensive children and adolescents compared with non-hypertensive controls and to evaluate the influence of gender, age, and body mass index (BMI) on CIMT on each group.MethodsObservational cohort study. A total of 133 hyper… Show more

“…Baroncini et al found significant correlation between carotid IMT and hypertension, but no significant correlation with age, gender and BMI in hypertensive children (21). In our study with adult CKD patients, we found carotid IMT was significantly associated with age, BMI, iPTH and CCI, but with no difference between males and females.…”

“…Other studies have also shown that glucose and LDL levels in adolescents with hypertension are higher and HDL is lower than those without hypertension with or without a family history of hypertension [15]. This result was also strengthened from further analysis of the Riskesdas 2013 by Sihombing which showed that the risk of hypertension in DM respondents increased in the age group ≥45 years by 2.63 times, mental emotional disorders 2.19 times, central obesity 1.75 times, total cholesterol 1.68 times, general obesity 1.57 times, not working 1.39 times, low education 1.30 times with p <0.05 [16]. In addition, analysis of previous cohort studies of risk factors NCD data conducted by Sirait and Riyadina showed that incidents hypertension that appeared in one year period (2012) from Kebon Kalapa respondents was 16.8%, while risk factors related to the incidence of hypertension included age, education (low and medium), nutritional status (overweight and obese) and stress [17].…”

“…The estimated sample size was based on a previous study on CIMT, which required the highest number of sample size compared to CRP, PWVcf, and AI. The mean difference of CIMT between the healthy subjects and with those at risk was 0.04 mm (Baroncini et al 2017), with an alpha value of 0.05, a power value of 80%, and a standard deviation of 0.05 mm. The sample size was calculated based on the formula by Eng (2003).…”
