Increased Carotid Artery Intimal-Medial Thickness in Asymptomatic Older Subjects With Exercise-Induced Myocardial Ischemia

Abstract

CCA IMT is increased in older subjects with asymptomatic myocardial ischemia as evidenced by exercise ECG alone or in combination with thallium scan. Carotid ultrasound may help to identify asymptomatic individuals with CAD.
