[The role of examination of intima-media thickness in evaluation of atherosclerosis].

[Article in Polish]

Abstract

In our work we presented the role of examination of intima - media thickness (IMT) of carotid arteries in its extracranial parts by using high resolution ultrasonography in evaluation of progression of atherosclerosis, organ damage and efficacy of hyperlipemic and antihypertensive therapy. On the basis of contemporary literature we described influences of other factors e.g. obesity, hypertension, ages on value of IMT. We also presented some of important intervention program in which the IMT was surrogate marker of cardiovascular diseases.
