Table 1 In individuals free of clinical cardiovascular disease, coronary wall thickness by MRI was associated with gender, diabetes and dyslipidemia and computed tomography and ultrasound detected atherosclerotic disease; coronary wall thickness was strongly related to common carotid IMT in multi-variable models.
