摘要: Background Several investigators have evaluated relations between risk factors and intimal-medial thickness (IMT) of the extracranial carotid arteries IMT clinical cardiovascular disease. Different indexes been used as referents. We compared strength association various measurements with coronary artery disease measured at angiography. Methods Results quantified mean for 12 sites (common carotid, bifurcation, internal near far walls, left right sides [mean aggregate]) well combinations (eg, segment-specific means, walls only, maximum any site) in 270 patients or free Models including age all identified aggregate only variable independently associated status atherosclerosis group a whole. Next most strongly correlated was common p...
