Objective To assess the association of carotid plaques and common carotid artery intima-
media thickness with traditional modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. Methods We …

Background and Purpose Data on risk factors for progression of intima-media thickness
(IMT) and plaque are scarce. The objective was to determine long-term risk factors for total …

Objective. To relate cross‐sectionally assessed indicators of carotid atherosclerosis
measured in participants of the Rotterdam Study to absolute 10–12 year risks of stroke …

We aimed to evaluate whether carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) or the presence of
plaque can confer additional predictive value of future cardiovascular (CV) ischemic events …

Background and Purpose—Cross-sectional studies describe a positive association between
common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) and carotid plaques (CP) …

Aim To assess the effects of each traditional cardiovascular risk factor (hypertension,
diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and smoking), including the presence of coronary artery …

Background Carotid intima‐media thickness and carotid plaque are well‐established
imaging markers used to capture different stages of the atherosclerotic disease process. We …

Objectives This study was conducted to examine the association between the carotid artery
intima-media thickness (IMT), plaque and cardiovascular risk factors according to gender …

Objective Carotid plaque and intima-media thickness are non-invasive arterial markers that
are used as surrogate end points for cardiovascular disease. The aim was to assess the …

Background and aims In a large stroke-free population, we sought to identify cardiovascular
risk factors and carotid plaque components associated with carotid plaque burden, lumen …
