abstract：OBJECTIVE:The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery is dependent on the risk factor load during life and correlates well with the degree of atherosclerosis, also in other vascular beds. METHODS:We reviewed our database of IMT measurements, from January 2002 to February 2007. We compared the mean IMT value...
