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 …

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

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 received interest as a predictor of cardiovascular
events in recent years. Use of cIMT in a clinical setting is limited by the variability in …

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 intima-media thickness (cIMT) and carotid plaque (CP) currently act as risk
predictors for CVD/Stroke risk assessment. Over 2000 articles have been published that …

Cardiovascular (CV) disease is still the leading cause of death in the developed world,
despite the considerable progress in CV medical and surgical therapeutics. Many risk …

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 …

Cardiovascular imaging modalities such as coronary computed tomography, carotid
ultrasonography, and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging are increasingly being …

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 …
