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

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the heritability of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), a surrogate
marker for atherosclerosis, independent of traditional coronary risk factors. METHODS AND …

Objectives: Although risk factors for coronary artery disease are also associated with
increased carotid intimamedia thickness (IMT), there is little information available on the …

Aim: We examined the association between the carotid intima medica thickness (cIMT) and
risk factors for atherosclerosis based on the Japan Atherosclerosis Society 2022 …

PURPOSE: Koreans are recently at higher risk for coronary heart disease than are the
Japanese. We aimed to evaluate levels of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and coronary …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We performed this study to evaluate the common
carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA IMT), and its correlation with several clinical …

Aim: Few population-based studies have assessed the risk factors of and gender differences
in intima-media thickness (IMT) at the common carotid artery (CCA) for different age groups …

Objective Coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors have been consistently related to an
increase in carotid intima–media thickness (IMT) in selected populations. However, few …
