Intima-Media Thickness

Description

Atherosclerosis is the main cause of death for men above 35 and women above 45 in most developed countries. It is a thickening and hardening of internal artery walls. One of its consequences is myocardial infarction. An artery wall is made of three layers; innermost to outermost, they are called intima, media and adventitia. Intima-media thickness is a marker of atherosclerosis. It was measured by ultra- sonography on a sample of 110 subjects in 1999 in Bordeaux hospitals. Information on the main risk factors was also collected.
