No evidence of association between subclinical thyroid disorders and common carotid intima medial thickness or atherosclerotic plaque

Conclusion Thyroid hormone is not associated with increased IMT or with the presence of carotid artery plaque. Our data do not support the idea that treating subclinical disorders might help to prevent arterial remodelling or carotid atherosclerosis.
