## Abstract ## Purpose To determine whether the mean wall thickness (MWT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) measured by MRI is comparable to Bβmode ultrasound (US) measurement of the intimaβmedia thickness (IMT), an established marker of cardiovascular risk. ## Materials and Methods As part of
High plasma concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are a powerful indicator of low vascular risk. By decreasing HDL cholesterol, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) could perhaps constitute an atherogenic protein. We measured HDL cholesterol and HDL subfractions and quant
