Why the study?
Does a high-resolution echo-tracking device accurately measure radial artery intima-media thickness compared to histology in patients with coronary heart disease?
Does a high-resolution echo-tracking device accurately measure radial artery intima-media thickness compared to histology in patients with coronary heart disease?
A high-resolution echo-tracking device provides reasonably accurate measurements of radial artery intima-media thickness compared to histology, supporting its use for noninvasive arterial assessment.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Moderate correlation supports echo-tracking for radial IMT; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.
