Aims Carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) and plaque information can improve coronary
heart disease (CHD) risk prediction when added to traditional risk factors (TRF). However …

Objectives: We evaluated whether carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and the presence
or absence of plaque improved coronary heart disease (CHD) risk prediction when added to …

Background Several indices of carotid atherosclerosis have been studied to investigate their
associations with the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the best index of carotid …

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

Background and aims Carotid plaque size and the mean common carotid intima-media
thickness measured in plaque-free areas (PF CC-IMT mean) have been identified as …

Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has been shown to predict cardiovascular (CV) risk in
multiple large studies. Careful evaluation of CIMT studies reveals discrepancies in the …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
