OBJECTIVE: To examine, prospectively, whether the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the
common carotid artery and the overlying plaque predicts the presence and severity of …

Background: Atherosclerosis is a fundamental process in the natural course of coronary
heart disease (CHD), carotid artery disease and peripheral artery disease. Atherosclerosis is …

Objective: To investigate (a) the relation between intima-media thickness (IMT) in carotid
arteries and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD); and (b) whether IMT is predictive of …

One of the important factors which should be considered in (Coronary artery disease) CAD
cases is increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) which has been considered to be …

The present study examined the association between carotid intima-media thickness (IMT)
and severity and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). B-mode ultrasound and …

Background Carotid arterial intima-media thickness (IMT) has been a good indicator of the
presence and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) in observational studies. Since …
