Specific plaque information was not part of the analyses and we did not incorporate CIMT measurement information from other segments. Our choice of the common CIMT measurement alone was based on information in the literature that of all the CIMT measurements that can be obtained, the common CIMT measurement suffices.1 Our results indicated that although the association between mean common CIMT measurement and myocardial infarction and stroke was strong, the measure did not add information on cardiovascular risk to traditional risk factors.
