Many clinical studies support the opinion that carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) assessed by B-mode ultrasound in extracranial carotid arteries, either in a single segment (common carotid) or in multiple segments (aggregate of measures in common carotids, bifurcations, and internal carotids), is a valuable mirror of coronary risk status and a worthwhile predictor of subsequent coronary heart disease (CHD), the leading source of cardiovascular death.1–3 Indeed, . . .
