“…Serial assessment of CIMT change over time is considered a good method to monitor the natural progression of atherosclerosis in epidemiological studies and/or to assess the average response to treatment in clinical trials [ 27 , 40 , 41 , 44 , 116 , 121 , 122 , 128 , 129 , 130 , 131 ]. A major advantage of measuring carotid plaque burden is that progression/regression of plaque can be measured in clinically relevant time frames.…”

“…In a prospective study of a primary care population in the Cholesterol-Lowering Atherosclerosis Study trial, during an 8.8-year observation, Hodis et al showed that the risk of coronary events was increased with the rate of CIMT progression ( Table 5 ). The researchers observed ORs of coronary events of 1.0 (reference), 1.6, 2.3, and 2.8 for CIMT progression rates of less than 0.011, 0.011 to 0.017, 0.018 to 0.033, and greater than 0.033 mm/year, respectively [ 40 ]. In another study, CIMT progression predicted CV events in patients with type 2 diabetes [ 41 ].…”

Recently published recommendations from the American Society of Echocardiography on ‘Carotid Arterial Plaque Assessment by Ultrasound for the Characterization of Atherosclerosis and Evaluation of Cardiovascular Risk’ provoked discussion once more on the potential clinical applications of carotid intima-media complex thickness (CIMT) and carotid plaque assessment in the context of cardiovascular risk in both primary and secondary care patients. This review paper addresses key issues and milestones regarding indications, assessment, technical aspects, recommendations, and interpretations of CIMT and carotid plaque findings. We discuss lacks of evidence, limitations, and possible future directions.

“…In patients with complex carotid plaques, complex coronary artery stenosis co-exists and the degree of the stenosis detected during the carotid artery Doppler examination and the stage of coronary artery disease correlate significantly [14][15][16][17]. Additionally, the SYNTAX score and intima-media thickness of carotid artery correlate significantly [18].…”

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main cause of premature deaths worldwide, and atherosclerosis (AS) is a major risk factor associated with them. B-mode ultrasound is a well-validated research tool that has been translated increasingly into clinical practice. The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of carotid intima media thickness by B-mode ultrasonography in coronary artery disease patients. Material and methods: This was a case control study, including 100 cases and the same number of controls. Patients with positive angiographic findings and chest pain were considered as cases and those without as negative. Duplex carotid ultrasound was used to detect intima-media thickness (IMT). B-mode real-time ultrasonic images were obtained with a 7 MHz transducer. An intima media thickness of 0.6 mm was considered as being without plaque. Results: The angiographic findings were single-vessel disease, double-vessel disease, and triple-vessel disease in 18%, 11.5%, and 20.5% of cases, respectively, while there were no findings in controls. There was plaque formation in 14.5% and calcification in 12% of the cases. Sensitivity of B-mode ultrasonography was found to be 78%, specificity 75%, positive predictive value 75.72%, and negative predictive value 77.31%. Conclusions: Carotid ultrasonography can be utilised as a valuable screening tool due to having several advantages, including ease of application, reproducibility, low cost, and strong correlation with atherosclerosis.
