Measurement of carotid intima–media thickness to assess progression and regression of atherosclerosis
- Published 2008 in Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine
Abstract
Imaging modalities have been developed to assess atherosclerosis in vivo in the arterial wall because large clinical end-point studies are time-consuming and costly. Historically, in-hospital angiography and Doppler ultrasonography have been used to assess atherosclerosis development. Investigations of the arterial lumen are, however, increasingly being… (More)
