Imaging of atherosclerosis: carotid intima-media thickness
Abstract
Carotid ultrasound provides quantitative measurements of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) that can be used to assess cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in individuals and monitor ongoing disease progression and regression in clinical trials. It is non-invasive, rapid, reproducible, and carries no risk. Numerous epidemiological studies have established that CIMT is a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis and is associated with established CVD risk factors and with both prevalent and incident CVD. The use of CIMT in outcome trials as a surrogate or predictor of CVD outcomes is widespread. Carotid ultrasound is being employed to test the efficacy of CVD treatment in order to identify potential useful drugs earlier and to possibly speed regulatory approval. Successive trials have generated lessons learned and applied, with slow but steady improvement in CIMT measurement reproducibility.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
