Carotid intima-media thickness as surrogate for and predictor of CVD
JF Polak, DH O'Leary - Global heart, 2016 - Elsevier
Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is a noninvasive measurement of the artery wall
thickness, inclusive of atherosclerotic plaque, obtained using ultrasound imaging. In the
MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) study, IMT measurements are used as a
surrogate for subclinical cardiovascular disease and as a variable predictive of
cardiovascular events. IMT measurements of the common carotid artery are available in
more than 99% of the MESA population and are predictive of cardiovascular events. More …
