Aims Carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) is an intermediate phenotype of early
atherosclerosis that independently predicts vascular events. It is often suggested that cIMT …

Context The evidence that measurement of the common carotid intima-media thickness
(CIMT) improves the risk scores in prediction of the absolute risk of cardiovascular events is …

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

Carotid intima–media thickness (cIMT) has received interest as a predictor of cardiovascular
events in recent years. Use of cIMT in a clinical setting is limited by the variability in …

Aims Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) predicts cardiovascular (CVD) events, but the
predictive value of CIMT change is debated. We assessed the relation between CIMT …

Aim Non-invasive measures of atherosclerosis, such as carotid intima-media thickness
(cIMT), may improve global cardiovascular risk prediction. The aim of this study was to …

Background—Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is increasingly used as a surrogate
marker for atherosclerosis. Its use relies on its ability to predict future clinical cardiovascular …

Background Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is related to the risk of cardiovascular
events in the general population. An association between changes in cIMT and …

Background: To quantify the association between effects of interventions on carotid intima-
media thickness (cIMT) progression and their effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk …

Objective—To investigate whether several different measures of carotid intima-media
thickness (IMT) progression are associated with subsequent vascular events and whether …
