Zusammenfassung

Carotid Intima Media Thickness (IMT) as well as IMT progression are well established parameters for clinical risk assessment of cardiovascular events. Increased IMT as identified by B-mode ultrasound of the extracranial carotid arteries is a predictor of incident coronary events 1, 2 and all-cause mortality3. The addition of IMT in combination with markers of peripheral vascular diseases to a basic model of traditional risk factors increased the area under the receiver-operator curve for stroke2. Nevertheless the capability of IMT-measurements in cardiovascular risk prediction to improve the accuracy of traditio…
