Abstract
In our patients, carotid IMT does not seem to be associated with unequivocal markers of atheromatosis such as the existence of relevant carotid plaques or pathological ABI. These results as well as the association of IMT with age, hypertension, microalbuminuria, and mean waist perimeter support the hypothesis that IMT must be considered a risk factor for general vascular disease rather than a marker of atherosclerotic burden.
