Background: No information is available on the distribution of cervicocephalic atherosclerosis in Amerindians. We aimed to assess the distribution of these lesions and their correlation with cardiovascular risk factors in Amerindians living in rural Ecuador.
Methods: Atahualpa residents aged ≥40years underwent head CT for assessment of carotid siphon calcifications (CSC) and sonographic examination for measurement of the carotid intima media thickness (cIMT).
