Figure 2 Categorical Change in CIMT in SANDS Subgroups

Numbers represent percentages of participants who experienced a decrease or no change (open bars) in common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) >0.01 mm versus an increase (solid bars). The majority of both aggressive subgroups experienced a decline or no change in IMT, whereas the majority of the standard group showed an increase (p < 0.0001). E+ = statin plus ezetimibe; E– = statin alone.
