Figure 4:

Image shows hazard ratios (HRs) for incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) events associated with common carotid artery wall thickness measured by using US and MRI, including intima-media thickness (IMT) and MRI wall thickness measurements simultaneously in same model. HRs for incident CVD events associated with 1 standard deviation increase in IMT or MRI wall thickness measurements were derived from Cox proportional hazards models. All analyses included IMT and MRI wall thickness measurements simultaneously in same model, and were adjusted for age, race, sex, body mass index, smoking, total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, diabetes, hypertension, and C-reactive protein. CHD = coronary heart disease, CI = confidence interval, GDWT = wall thickness measured with gadolinium-enhanced MRI, PDWT = wall thickness measured with proton-density–weighted MRI.
