Reproducibility of carotid ultrasound measurements in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) at baseline.

In conclusion, we found very good reproducibility for carotid plaque score and CIMT measurements in the ELSA-Brasil at baseline. These results are comparable to the best findings from similar large cohorts that analyzed carotid ultrasound data.
