Effects of the cardiac cycle on carotid intima-media thickness in ELSA-Brasil baseline assessment
The authors found a significant CIMT variability across the cardiac cycle in a very large sample. The magnitude of this phenomenon is more important among individuals with CVRFs. CIMT acquisition protocols must consider the effect of the cardiac cycle to improve risk estimation and reproducibility.
