Abstract
Techniques as Intima Media Thickness (IMT) and (Pulse Wave velocity) PWV have been strongly suggested by European and American Guidelines to assess subclinical ahterosclerotic vascular disease as target organ damage, and when they are present, they have been clearly associated to an increased risk of cardiovascular complications and death.
