We aimed to assess ethnic differences in plaque presence and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and explore to what extent...

... and subclinical atherosclerosis. Common carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) is an imaging marker of subclinical atherosclerosis. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between remnant cholesterol and cIMT in a community population with normal LDL-C. Methods: This study is a retrospective...

...Frank Weber Background: Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements are increasingly used as an intermediate outcome for vascular risk. The study aim was to evaluate segment-specific IMT progression rates and their relationship to vascular risk factors compared with baseline measurements...

...; Masayasu Matsumoto; Masatsugu Hori Background and Purpose: There is epidemiological evidence that increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. However, the significance of carotid IMT in high-risk patients in whom risk factors are managed clinically...
