  3. Association Between the Ankle-Brachial Index and Carotid Intimal Medial Thickness(CIMT) in the Rancho Bernardo Study
  4. Conclusion : Plasma total Hcy levels are significantly positive correlated with the carotid IMT in old myocardial infarction patients, and the degree of increased carotid intimal medial thickness is consistent with the extent of elevated plasma Hcy levels.
  5. Methods : Using the colour Doppler ultrasonography technique, the carotid intimal medial thickness, position of plaques were measured at both the infarction and infarction-flee sides in 128 patients with cerebral stroke, and compared with 96 cases in the controlled group.
