Implication

Meta-analysis reveals similar cardiovascular disease risk associations across three carotid segments, highlighting maximum predictive gain when combining all three.

Key Points

Carotid intima-media thickness across three arterial segments showed similar linear associations with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Hazard ratios per standard deviation rise were 1.20 for common carotid, 1.20 for carotid bifurcation, and 1.16 for internal carotid artery.
Random-effects meta-analysis evaluated participant-level data from 20 prospective studies with 47,358 individuals followed for 6.1 years.
Assessment of common carotid artery alongside carotid bifurcation and internal carotid artery provided the highest gain in C-index risk score.
