pubmed:abstractText |
The thickness of the intima-media (IMT) layer of the common carotid artery is a marker of severe and extensive coronary artery disease and it has been reported that it is related to the presence of risk factors for atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to establish whether the IMT correlates with the British Regional Heart Study (BRHS) risk score which identifies a large proportion of men who may experience a major ischaemic heart disease event within 5 years of initial screening.
