“…[10] LFCT was measured in an automated fashion using a fiduciary point-based algorithm developed by the investigators. [11] Average LFCT across all respiratory events per subject was analyzed. Subclinical CV markers examined included coronary artery calcification (CAC), carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and were obtained by cardiac computerized tomography (CT), carotid ultrasound and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), respectively, within 1-2 years of MESA Sleep study.…”
