Carotid intima-media thickness for cardiovascular risk assessment: Systematic review and meta-analysis

TLDR
CIMT as measured by B-mode ultrasound is associated with future cardiovascular events, however, the addition of CIMT to traditional cardiovascular risk prediction models does not lead to a statistical significantly increase in performance of those models.

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness for Atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: It remains unclear whether routine carotid IMT measurement is useful for the detection of subclinical atherosclerosis in clinical practice, and Physicians should comprehensively interpret the results ofcarotid ultrasonography.

Time in Range Is Associated with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Type 2 Diabetes.

TL;DR: TIR is associated with CIMT in a large sample of patients with type 2 diabetes, suggesting a link between TIR and macrovascular disease.

Carotid plaque thickness and carotid plaque burden predict future cardiovascular events in asymptomatic adult Americans.

TL;DR: The simpler cPTmax predicted cardiovascular events similarly to the more comprehensive cPB, whereas IMT did not, and may be a simple useful measure for prediction of future ASCVD.

Atherosclerosis — An Inflammatory Disease

TL;DR: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease as discussed by the authors, and it is a major cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia, despite changes in lifestyle and use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations.

- 01 Apr 1982 - 
TL;DR: A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on patient characteristics, is presented and it is shown that in such a setting the area represents the probability that a randomly chosen diseased subject is (correctly) rated or ranked with greater suspicion than a random chosen non-diseased subject.
