Multifactorial risk factor improvement was not associated with slowed carotid atherosclerosis progression; leaves open whether longer interventions affect clinical events.
Does a multifactorial intervention reduce the progression of atherosclerosis in healthy middle-aged men with increased cardiovascular risk?
A 2-year multifactorial intervention successfully improved cardiovascular risk factors but failed to halt the progression of carotid atherosclerosis in middle-aged men.
