However, they are less well-described in children. Alternative methodologies, such as aortic IMT (aIMT), may be more appropriate in children provided the natural history of atherosclerotic disease [3]. Previous studies have predominantly applied these methodologies in a narrow age-range of children; methodological differences between studies make inter-study comparison of absolute values difficult. Therefore, we aimed to assess the severity of arteriosclerosis across childhood and adolescence using standardised application of age-appropriate and established methodologies.","PeriodicalId":8466,"journal":{"name":"Artery Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45166633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transcranial color duplex (TCCD) and central aortic pressures (CAP) can be derived non-invasively providing pressure and haemodynamic measurements.
