The aim of this study was to examine the relation between the intima-media thickness and the wall elasticity measured simultaneously in the same cross-section of the common carotid artery. A group of 40 persons (19 healthy and 21 with hypertension and/or atherosclerosis) aged 22 to 81 were diagnosed by means of ultrasound. A high correlation occurred between the wall stiffness coefficient [alpha] and the intima-media thickness (r=0.950, p<0.00001)
