摘要：

Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease in the United States, its burden remains significant. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), measured noninvasively with B-mode ultrasound, is an indicator of subclinical vascular disease that has been associated with established cardiovascular risk factors as well as incident and prevalent cardiovascular disease in large epidemiologic studies. As a clinical tool, CIMT has the potential to refine risk stratification in individual patients who may otherwise be at intermediate cardiovascular risk based on conventional risk assessment algorithms. Future clinical trials are needed to determine whether CIMT-guided risk reduction can lead to improved cardiovascular outcomes. © 2009 Current Medicine Group, LLC.
