Background Arterial diameters enlarge in response to wall thickening, plaques, and many
atherosclerotic risk factors. We hypothesized that right common carotid artery (RCCA) …

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

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 …

Recently published recommendations from the American Society of Echocardiography on
'Carotid Arterial Plaque Assessment by Ultrasound for the Characterization of …

Background and Purpose—Carotid ultrasound evaluation of intima-media thickness (IMT)
and plaque burden has been used for risk stratification and for evaluation of …

Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) are
noninvasive measures of atherosclerosis that consensus panels have recommended as …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the association of combinations of
lipid parameters with subclinical atherosclerosis. Background: Carotid intima-media …

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 …

Background Studies have indicated that the presence and size of subclinical atherosclerotic
plaques improve the prediction of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events (ASCVE) over and …

Objectives. The thickness of the intima‐media (IMT) layer of the common carotid artery is a
marker of severe and extensive coronary artery disease and it has been reported that it is …
