Structured PICO

Do CCA-IMT, carotid plaques, and Framingham Risk Score independently determine stroke risk?

P
Population
Subjects assessed for stroke risk
I
Intervention
Measurement of Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CCA-IMT), Carotid Plaques (CPs), and Framingham Risk Score (FRS)
O
Outcome
10-year stroke risk discriminationsurrogate

Carotid intima-media thickness correlates well with Framingham Risk Score and may help discriminate between patients at low versus high 10-year risk of stroke.

Abstract

CCA-IMT, CPs, and FRSs correlated well. The CCA-IMT value may help discriminate between subjects at low or high 10-year risk.
