Summary

This study is a cross sectional comparison of the Color Doppler Ultrasonography (CDUS) and Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) in patients diagnosed with sLVV. The supraaortic large vessels (aorta, carotid, subclavian, vertebral, and axillary arteries) and the temporal arteries of fifty patients suffering of sLVV will be examined by CDUS and MRA. The images will be evaluated by 2 blinded experts (one for CDUS and one for MRA). In addition, the intima media complex (IMC) thickness of the large vessels and temporal arteries will be measured by CDUS in 100 sex and age matched controls to the sLVV patients. Blood samples from patients and controls will be collected in order to perform genetic and cytokine analyses.
