Greater carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), a measure of subclinical atherosclerosis, is associated with left ventricular myocardial dysfunction, a subclinical marker of HF. We investigated the association of carotid IMT with incident HF among middle-aged whites and blacks, controlling for major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. en Wake Forest University Carotid intima-media thickness Diabetes mellitus Heart failure Subclinical atherosclerosis The Association of Subclinical Atherosclerosis with Incident Heart Failure: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study Thesis Bertoni, Alain G Byington, Robert P Wagenknecht, Lynne E Rodriguez, Carlos J Evans, Gregory W Clinical and Population Translational Sciences forever 10000-01-01 open.access
