Figure 3 Direct linear relationships between increased intima-media thickness (IMT) and regional decreased function in the different myocardial regions; participants in the highest tertiles for carotid IMT (highest IMT) had decreased circumferential shortening strain in absolute values of circumferential shortening strain (ECC) in the lateral, inferior, and septal walls when compared with individuals in the lowest tertiles (less IMT).
