Can common carotid intima media thickness serve as an indicator of both cardiovascular phenotype and risk among black Africans?

European journal of preventive cardiology - 1 Nov 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It is not known whether common carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) can serve as a surrogate marker of cardiovascular risk among black Africans. Therefore, we examined whether CIMT differed significantly among individuals with distinct cardiovascular phenotype and correlated significantly with traditional cardiovascular risk factors in a black African population. METHODS: CIMT was measured in 456...
