Implication

Brachial IMT may indicate atherosclerosis burden in cross-sectional data; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.

Structured PICO

Population

388 subjects who underwent health examination, including patients with cardiovascular diseases, mean age 45±22 years (range 19-86).

Outcome

Relationships between IMT of the brachial artery, vascular function (FMD and nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation), and cardiovascular risk factorssurrogate

Brachial artery intima-media thickness correlates with cardiovascular risk factors and vascular function, suggesting it may serve as a useful marker of atherosclerosis grade.
