Implication

Heterogeneous carotid IMT effects caution against single-segment reliance; leaves open whether multi-segment protocols refine risk assessment in observational cohorts.

Population

280 individuals older than 45 years, equally divided between coronary artery disease cases and controls and between men and women.

Outcome

Intimal-medial thickness at the near and far walls of the common carotid artery, bifurcation, and internal carotid arterysurrogate

Risk factors have heterogeneous effects on intimal-medial thickness across different segments of the carotid artery, suggesting that single-segment measurements may not accurately reflect overall atherosclerotic burden or risk factor associations.
