- Most studies
concern lipid-lowering treatment, antihypertensive treatment and hormonal treatment ( in
post menopausal women). - Studies of statins treatments using IMT as a surrogate point confirm reduction in IMT progression in primary prevention ( ACAPS, CAIUS, KAPS) or secondary prevention ( PLAC II, MARS, REGRESS). - Various blood-pressure -lowering drugs have been or being tested with variable results. - Concerning hormone replacement therapy results are yet inconclusive. Our study is associated with a increased IMT in the common carotid artery in elderly women without HRT, and also a increased freqeuncy of plaques.
