description Intima-media thickness (IMT) of carotid arteries is a noninvasive marker of changes in the vascular wall, easily determined by means of duplex scanning of carotid arteries. The article deals with the data of international studies, confirming the importance of IMT as a predictor of coronary heart disease and to identify independent risk factor for cardiovascular events.
