Progression of Carotid Plaque Volume Predicts Cardiovascular Events

Structured PICO

Is measurement of TPV superior to IMT and TPA for assessing response to antiatherosclerotic therapy?

I

Intervention

Measurement of Total Plaque Volume (TPV)

C

Comparator

Measurement of Intima-Media Thickness (IMT) and Total Plaque Area (TPA)

O

Outcome

Assessment of response to antiatherosclerotic therapy and prediction of cardiovascular eventssurrogate

Measurement of carotid total plaque volume is a superior imaging biomarker compared to intima-media thickness and total plaque area for assessing response to antiatherosclerotic therapy.

Abstract

For assessment of response to antiatherosclerotic therapy, measurement of TPV is superior to both IMT and TPA.
