Few studies have determined whether greater carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) in
asymptomatic individuals is associated prospectively with increased risk of coronary heart …

Support for the notion that a carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurement is useful in
individual cardiovascular risk prediction in addition to a risk function may come from studies …

BACKGROUND: Current approaches to cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment have
limitations. Subclinical atherosclerosis (SCA) as determined by carotid ultrasound is an …

Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is an early marker of coronary artery disease (CAD).
This study aimed to evaluate CIMT value for CAD prediction in pre-and postmenopausal …

Aim: Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a useful surrogate marker of cardiovascular
disease and is associated with cardiac events. We investigated cross-sectionally the …

Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has been shown to predict cardiovascular (CV) risk in
multiple large studies. Careful evaluation of CIMT studies reveals discrepancies in the …

Background Carotid artery plaques are associated with coronary artery atherosclerotic
lesions. We evaluated various ultrasound definitions of carotid artery plaque as predictors of …

Background The clinical use of carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) requires normal
values, which may be subject to variation of geographical factors, ethnicity or measurement …

Background: Surrogate markers for cardiovascular disease might be of great value in
observational research, clinical trials, and clinical practice. Carotid intima–media thickness …

The carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a widely used surrogate marker for
atherosclerosis worldwide. The carotid IMT can be simply, noninvasively, and reproducibly …
