Is increased carotid-artery intima and media thickness associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in older adults without a history of cardiovascular disease?

Increased carotid intima-media thickness measured by ultrasound is a risk factor for future myocardial infarction and stroke in older adults without prior cardiovascular disease.
Increases in the thickness of the intima and media of the carotid artery, as measured noninvasively by ultrasonography, are directly associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in older adults without a history of cardiovascular disease.
