pubmed:abstractText |
The echogenicity of atherosclerotic plaques is a measure of their lipid content and predicts cardiovascular disease. We hypothesized that the echogenicity of the non-plaque-affected arterial wall may be prognostically important as well, and more easily used as not all subjects carry plaques. We investigated the prognostic value of intima-media (IM) echogenicity (measured as the grey scale median [GSM]) for mortality compared with intima-media thickness (IMT) in a population-based sample of elderly men.
