Conclusions

MT is the main determinant of carotid IMT in hypertensive subjects. Conversely, IT showed stronger correlation and greater discriminatory value to identify atherosclerotic plaques than MT and IMT. These findings suggest that carotid IT may be a more accurate marker of atherosclerosis that MT or IMT in hypertensive subjects.
