Is increased common carotid intima-media thickness associated with future stroke and myocardial infarction?
Increased common carotid IMT serves as a predictor for future cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events.
The present study, based on a short follow-up period, provides evidence that an increased common carotid IMT is associated with future cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events.
Bots et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
