Abstract
The normative data of cIMR for a paediatric age group presented here allow for the identification of patients at elevated cardiovascular risk. By including cIMR as surface analysis of the arterial wall, the individual risk stratification may be improved compared to thickness-analysis of the Intima-Media-Layer (cIMT) also at a paediatric age.
