How can you use “imt” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Ebrahim's statement that “most [plaques] are stable and unlikely to rupture” is based on his own study published in Stroke [3], but the paper has no data relating to how many patients found to have increased intima-media wall thickness (IMT) or plaque actually had heart attacks or strokes.
Ebrahim cites two studies to support his argument that measuring carotid IMT offers no additional predictive power over conventional screening tools [18,19], but the first of these has serious flaws (such as a significant dropout rate that the authors assumed was random, a short follow-up period, and the inclusion only of people of an advanced age) [18], and the other concluded that carotid IMT measurement “substantially improved prediction of future coronary heart disease” [19].
Shouldn't everyone with increased IMT at least be informed of the options available to limit it rather than waiting until acute events or advanced narrowing occur?
If IMT stabilizes or reverses a little, then it means that control is at goal.
If IMT increases, more control is required.
