      <i>Aims</i> - Averaged measurements, but not the progression based on multiple assessments of carotid intima-media thickness, (cIMT) are predictive of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in individuals. Whether this is true for conventional risk factors is unclear.<p> <p><i>Methods and results</i> - An individual participant meta-analysis was used to associate the annualised progression of systolic ...
