A Comparison of Segment-Specific and Composite Measures of Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and their Relationships with Coronary Calcium.

The most oft-used measure, CCAmean, was no longer associated with coronary calcium after age-adjustment and stratification. PMID: 33551394 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
