Impact of Intima–Media Thickness Progression in the Common Carotid Arteries on the Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease in the Suita Study

Abstract: BackgroundNo prospective study of the relationship between intima–media thickness (IMT) progression and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been performed.Methods and ResultsWe studied 4724 participants (mean age: 59.7±11.9 years; without CVD at the baseline) who had carotid ultrasonographic measurement of IMT on both sides of the entire carotid artery area (ie, the entire scanned common carotid artery [CCA], carotid artery bulb, internal carotid artery, and external carotid artery areas for both sides) … Show more

“…patients with a maximum CCA-IMT �1.1 mm, which indicates carotid arterial plaque [15]. Such a finding has recently been shown to be a significant risk factor for future CVD in the general Japanese population [33]. This suggests that it would have been difficult to decrease these values further using the study intervention, possibly affecting, in part, the IMTs measured in the study.…”

“…Based on the clear visualization of the twodimensional vascular structure, it can receive complete RF signal, and detect the CIMT in six cardiac cycles in real-time, which is up to 10 µm. This technology is considered as a reliable and feasible method of clinical evaluation of arterial structure and function [14]. In this study, the CIMT increased in the subjects who were ≥50 years old.…”

“…More recently, in an epidemiological study of CVD based on a random sampling of more than 15,000 participants in Japan, Kokubo et al . showed that the multivariate‐adjusted HRs for CVD and stroke were 2.80 (95% CI 1.54–5.11) and 2.30 (95% CI 1.14–4.63) in the fourth quartile, respectively, as compared with the first quartile of 5‐year progression of max‐IMT. These findings show that the progression of CIMT and carotid stenosis can be used as a surrogate endpoint of CV events.…”

“…Sabeti et al 81 observed 1,065 individuals with carotid stenosis for 3.2 years, and found that individuals with progression in carotid stenosis had a significantly higher risk for CV events compared with those without it. More recently, in an epidemiological study of CVD based on a random sampling of more than 15,000 participants in Japan, Kokubo et al showed that the multivariate-adjusted HRs for CVD and stroke were 2.80 (95% CI 1.54-5.11) and 2.30 (95% CI 1.14-4.63) in the fourth quartile, respectively, as compared with the first quartile of 5-year progression of max-IMT 82 . These findings show that the progression of CIMT and carotid stenosis can be used as a surrogate endpoint of CV events.…”
