Carotid Intima-Media Thickness for Atherosclerosis

open access: yesJournal 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
