Subclinical atherosclerosis burden in non-diabetic hypertensives treated in primary care center: the IMTABI study

Identifying patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease in primary prevention is a challenging task. This study aimed at detecting subclinical atherosclerosis burden in non-diabetic hypertensive patients in a primary care centre. Clinical, anthropometric and analytical data were collected from p...

Zusammenfassung:	Identifying patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease in primary prevention is a challenging task. This study aimed at detecting subclinical atherosclerosis burden in non-diabetic hypertensive patients in a primary care centre. Clinical, anthropometric and analytical data were collected from patients with hypertension who were free from clinical vascular disease and diabetes. The cardiovascular risk was assessed using the SCORE system. Subclinical atherosclerosis burden was assessed by carotid ultrasonography (intima-medial thickness [IMT] and plaque) and measurement of the ankle-brachial index (ABI). Out of 140 patients, 59 (42%) have carotid plaque, 32 (23%) have IMT higher than 75% and 12 (9%) have an ABI
