Country-Based Reference Values and Impact of Cardiovascular Risk Factors on Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in a French Population: The ‘Paroi Artérielle et Risque Cardio-Vasculaire’ (PARC) Study

Abstract

CCAIMT(mean) may help to identify the population at intermediate cardiovascular risk. As an integrator of both conventional and genetic cardiovascular risk factors at the individual level, its additive value versus other risk scores must be evaluated, particularly in patients in their fourth and sixth decades.
