Supports carotid IMT reproducibility in T2D; leaves open prospective validation as surrogate endpoint.
Is the reproducibility of carotid intima-media thickness measurement comparable between individuals with and without type 2 diabetes?
Carotid IMT can be measured with good and comparable reproducibility in both patients with and without type 2 diabetes, supporting its use as a reliable surrogate marker in clinical trials for both populations.
Lundby‐Christensen et al. (2010) studied this question.
