OBJECTIVE To determine the ability of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and coronary
artery calcium score (CACS) to detect subclinical atherosclerosis in a young to middle-aged …

Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) are
noninvasive measures of atherosclerosis that consensus panels have recommended as …

Background Common carotid artery and internal carotid artery intima‐media thicknesses
(IMT) are associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) and increase with age. Using age …

Detection and quantification of subclinical coronary heart disease by noninvasive imaging
techniques offers the potential for earlier diagnosis with targeted prevention and therapy …

Cardiovascular risk factors have utility in risk prediction but have limitations in predicting
individual risk. Identifying an individual's risk remains a challenge. Emerging technologies …

Background—Increased carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT) and coronary artery
calcification (CAC) are used as 2 markers of early atherosclerosis. Our objectives were to …

Eur J Clin Invest 2011; 41 (5): 521–526 Abstract Background and Objective Increased
carotid intima‐media thickness (CIMT) is associated with cardiovascular events. The …

Background The relation between cardiovascular risk factors and extent of atherosclerosis in
middle-aged and elderly populations is well established. Autopsy studies have suggested …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the association of combinations of
lipid parameters with subclinical atherosclerosis. Background: Carotid intima-media …

BACKGROUND: Increases in carotid intimal medial thickness (IMT), as measured by
noninvasive ultrasonography, have been associated with increased risk of myocardial …
