Table 4.

Frequency of CIMT at the bifurcation above the 75th Percentile (0.95 mm) by large aortic plaque status.

Large Arch Plaque No Large Arch Plaque Total
BIF ≥ 0.95 mm 14 19 33
BIF <0.95 mm 21 84 105
Total 35 103 138

BIF = Carotid IMT at the bifurcation

Sensitivity = 40% (14/35)

Specificity = 82% (84/103)

Positive Predictive Value = 42% (14/33)

Negative Predictive Value = 80% (84/105)
