Does baseline carotid intima-media thickness predict incident hypertension in adults?
Adults in a large multiethnic cohort (Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health)
Baseline carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) ultrasound measurement
Incident hypertension
Baseline carotid intima-media thickness is a strong predictor of incident hypertension over 4 years, highlighting the link between vascular structural changes and blood pressure.
CIMT values at baseline strongly predicted incident hypertension after 4 years of follow-up in this large multiethnic cohort. This highlights the relationship between CIMT and BP and may provide important insights into the significance of this ultrasound measurement.
