Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a well-established predictor of cardiovascular
disease events. Not well described, however, is the prevalence of plaque and stenosis …

Background and Purpose—We determined the contribution of common carotid intima-media
thickness (IMT) in the prediction of future coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular …

We reviewed prospective epidemiological data in the general population, mostly middle-
aged to older persons, to determine the association of carotid intima-media thickness …

Background and objective Carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT) is a strong predictor
of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and independent phenotype of early atherosclerosis. The …

OBJECTIVES: We conducted the meta-analysis to compare the diagnostic accuracies of
carotid plaque and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measured by B-mode …

Background No prospective study of the relationship between intima–media thickness (IMT)
progression and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been performed. Methods and …

Objective: Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is an index for changes in atherosclerosis
burden and changes in CIMT may relate to clinical events. We present baseline data from …

Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a simple and inexpensive tool to assess the
cumulative effect of atherosclerotic risk factors and is an independent predictor of future …

Background—Carotid atherosclerosis, measured as carotid intima-media thickness or as
characteristics of plaques, has been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to C …

Background: Surrogate markers for cardiovascular disease might be of great value in
