    Stroke 35:1642-6. 2004
    ..Arterial stiffness is a risk factor for stroke and myocardial infarction. We investigated whether carotid arterial stiffness is related to other localizations of manifest arterial disease...

    Joke M Dijk
    Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, Huispostnummer Str 6 131, Postbus 85060, 3508 BA Utrecht, The Netherlands
    Stroke 35:2258-62. 2004
    ..We cross-sectionally investigated whether carotid stiffness is associated with previous ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in patients with a carotid artery stenosis of at least 50%...

    Michiel L Bots
    Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University of Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands
    J Hypertens 20:2317-25. 2002
    ..We aimed at providing an overview of epidemiological data on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and arterial stiffness measurements and their relation to risk of cardiovascular disease...

    Eur Heart J 27:1971-8. 2006
    ..CONCLUSION: Common CIMT is associated with the occurrence of new vascular events, mostly for ischaemic stroke, in patients with manifest arterial disease. This relation does not appear to depend on the presence of plaques...
