Carotid intima thickness assessed using high-resolution ultrasound as a structural correlate of endothelial dysfunction
Purpose: This study evaluated the association between carotid intima thickness (cIT), measured using high-resolution ultrasound, and endothelial cell dysfunction (ECD), assessed using flow-mediated dilation (FMD), for early atherosclerosis risk assessment. Methods: Between January and December 2024, 102 middle-aged non...
