Why the study?
Is coronary heart disease associated with increased intima and media thickness of the radial and anterior tibial arteries compared to healthy subjects?

High-frequency ultrasound reveals that coronary heart disease is associated with isolated thickening of the radial artery intima, suggesting its potential for non-invasive early detection of atherosclerosis.

Isolated radial intima thickening was associated with CHD; leaves open whether high-frequency ultrasound enables non-invasive early atherosclerosis detection.
Myredal et al. (2009) studied this question.
