Common carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) is a commonly used marker for
atherosclerosis and is often computed in carotid ultrasound images. An analysis of different …

Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) can be reliably determined in vivo by carotidian
ultrasound and is an accessible and reliable method to assess subclinical atherosclerosis …

Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of most myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic
strokes. B-mode ultrasound of carotid arteries provides measures of intima-media thickness …

An early sign of atherosclerosis is hypertrophy of the arterial wall. Increased intima-media
thickness (IMT) is a non-invasive marker of arterial wall alteration, which can easily be …

Detection of subclinical atherosclerosis through noninvasive imaging such as ultrasound
and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can improve cardiovascular risk stratification …

Third, low signal-to-noise ratio. The mean cIMT progression rate (or signal) across studies
was small, ranging from 0· 001 to 0· 030 mm/year, which is probably representative of the …

Although atherosclerotic cerebrovascular disease may remain asymptomatic for decades, its
first manifestation as stroke can be severe, even deadly. Prevention of atherosclerotic …

Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) may be measured by ultrasound, where the distance
between a double-line reflex pattern representing the luminal-intimal and the …

Atherosclerosis prevention and its progression has become an important goal in medicine.
Atherosclerotic disease is a long and silently evolving disease and hardly reversible when …

Background and aims There is a debate on how to evaluate carotid artery intima-media
thickness (IMT). We here compared IMT of the common carotid artery (CCA) and bulb with …
