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 …

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 …

Background Carotid artery plaques are associated with coronary artery atherosclerotic
lesions. We evaluated various ultrasound definitions of carotid artery plaque as predictors of …

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

OBJECTIVES: We sought to address the respective association between carotid intima-
media thickness (IMT) in plaque-free sites and plaques with coronary heart disease (CHD) …

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

Background Common carotid artery and internal carotid artery intima‐media thicknesses
(IMT) are associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) and increase with age. Using age …

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

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 …
