Fig. 3

Correlation between angle α and ICA-IMT (a, b) and CCA diameter/BSA and ICA-IMT (c, d). Right and left represent the vessel position. Open and closed circles represent values from the ICA-IMT < 0.5 mm group and ICA-IMT ≥ 0.5 mm group, respectively. Solid, short-dashed, and long-dashed lines denote the correlation line for the total subjects, the ICA-IMT < 0.5 mm group subjects, and the ICA-IMT ≥ 0.5 mm group subjects, respectively. For (A, B), the r and P values for each group are shown to the right of each correlation line. For (c, d), the r and P values for the ICA-IMT < 0.5 mm group and ICA-IMT ≥ 0.5 mm group are shown to the right of the correlation line and total subjects are shown to the left
