Carotid Intima-Media Thickness for Atherosclerosis
Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis, 2016 The carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a widely used surrogate marker for atherosclerosis worldwide. The carotid IMT can be simply, noninvasively, and reproducibly measured through B-mode carotid ultrasound. The carotid IMT is also a strong predictor of future cerebral and cardiovascular events. In addition, regressions of increased carotid IMT by

Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness and Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association, 2017 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 medial‐adventitial interfaces corresponds well with IMT measured in histological specimens.[1][1] Thickening of the artery ...
