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 …

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 …

Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements are now recognized as a
surrogate measure of atherosclerosis. The measurement is performed on high-resolution …

Many clinical studies support the opinion that carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) assessed
by B-mode ultrasound in extracranial carotid arteries, either in a single segment (common …

Multiple studies have shown that the carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT), as
measured noninvasively by ultrasonography, is directly associated with an increased risk of …

Increased carotid intima media thickness (IMT) is relatively simple, inexpensive, and
reproducible noninvasive marker of global atherosclerotic disease. It is a frequently used …

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 …

Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is a noninvasive measurement of the artery wall
thickness, inclusive of atherosclerotic plaque, obtained using ultrasound imaging. In 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 …

Carotid ultrasound has been used as a research tool in epidemiology and in clinical trials of
cardiovascular disease interventions for nearly 3 decades. Since 2000, 7 guidelines or …
