Background Evidence on the associations of carotid intima‐media thickness and carotid
plaque characteristics with stroke subtypes and coronary artery disease risks in Asians is …

Background and Purpose—Understanding associations of carotid atherosclerosis with
stroke subtypes may contribute to more effective prevention of stroke. Methods—Between …

Background Our aim was to prospectively investigate the association between carotid artery
intima-media thickness (IMT) as well as carotid plaque and incidence of coronary heart …

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—Few cohort studies have examined the association of carotid
intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque characteristics with the risk of stroke in apparently …

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 …

Background and Purpose—Carotid plaque and intima-media thickness (IMT) are recognized
as risk factors for ischemic stroke, but their predictive value has been debated and varies …

Background and Purpose—Ultrasound measurements of arterial stiffness are associated
with atherosclerosis risk factors, but limited data exist on their association with incident …

Background Increased carotid intima-media thickness is associated with higher
cardiovascular disease risk. This study aimed to evaluate the contributions of cardiovascular …

Background and Purpose—It is generally assumed that risk factors affect extracranial carotid
intimal-medial thickness similarly among all arterial segments. This assumption underlies …
