Do carotid intima-media thickness and cumulative cardiometabolic-risk biomarker index predict coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction in adults?
Carotid intima-media thickness and cardiometabolic-risk biomarker indices provide significant predictive value for future cardiovascular events, emphasizing the need for comprehensive cardiometabolic health in CVD prevention.
Carotid intima-media thickness is a strong predictor of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. The cumulative cardiometabolic-risk biomarker index offers additional predictive value for subclinical atherosclerosis and future cardiovascular events. These findings underscore the importance of comprehensive cardiometabolic health in CVD prevention strategies.
