Does Carotid IMT predict future vascular events?
Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement
Future vascular events (stroke, myocardial infarction)hard clinical
Carotid IMT is a strong predictor of future vascular events, particularly stroke, though more standardized protocols and data in younger populations are needed.
Carotid IMT is a strong predictor of future vascular events. The relative risk per IMT difference is slightly higher for the end point stroke than for myocardial infarction. In future IMT studies, ultrasound protocols should be aligned with published studies. Data for younger individuals are limited and more studies are required.
