Effect of thalidomide on cardiac remodeling in chronic heart failure: results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Increased carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT) and coronary artery calcification (CAC) are used as 2 markers of early atherosclerosis. Our objectives were to assess whether increased IMT and CAC are related and to determine the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and carotid IMT in young adult...
