Abstract

Although endothelial cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are postulated to play a key role in early atherosclerosis, studies on endothelial CAMs are mainly pertained to middle-aged populations and populations with an unfavourable cardiovascular risk burden. Therefore, this study evaluated whether circulating endothelial CAMs are related to cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) derived indicators of arterial wall alterations in a random sample of young adults from the general population. This cross-sectional study is part of the general-population-based Atherosclerosis-Monitoring-and-Biomarker-measurements-In-The-YOuNg (AMBITYON) cohort study. In 131 adults (age: 25-35 years), demography, anthropometry and a lipid spectrum was acquired. Thoracic aortic wall area, wall thickness and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were measured using a 3 T CMR-system. From stored blood samples, four CAMs (E-selectin, P-selectin, vascular CAM-1 and intercellular CAM-1) were measured using dedicated methods. Linear mixed-effects regression analysis was used to evaluate the relation of these CAMs with the selected aortic characteristics. Of the studied endothelial CAMs, P-selectin related to natural logarithm transformed aortic wall thickness (β = 0.18 mm/(μg/ml), [95% confidence interval: 0.04, 0.31], p = 0.01) whereas E-selectin related to natural logarithm transformed aortic PWV (β = 3.01 (m/s)/(μg/ml), [95% confidence interval: 0.08, 5.95], p = 0.04). Of note, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 did not relate to the selected aortic characteristics. In young adults from the general population, circulating P-selectin and E-selectin levels appear positively related to CMR-derived aortic wall thickness and PWV, possibly pointing towards atherogenic inflammatory arterial wall alterations inflicted by these CAMs already in young adulthood.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 August 2018.
All research outputs
#6,925,339
of 25,523,622 outputs
Outputs from Critical Reviews in Diagnostic Imaging
#489
of 1,379 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#110,041
of 342,326 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Critical Reviews in Diagnostic Imaging
#19
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,523,622 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,379 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 342,326 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
