Abstract

Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements have been widely used in observational studies and randomized trials as exemplified in an increasing number of publications (Fig. 22.1). In observational (cohort) studies, IMT measurements are used as a primary outcome in studies relating risk factors to increased IMT in a similar manner as in studies into determinants of occurrence of cardiovascular events.
