Integrating carotid doppler, grey scale ultrasound, and aortic oscillometry to evaluate macroangiopathy in myositides: the MYOCARD cohort

To evaluate the combination of novel colour Doppler ultrasound (CDUS), greyscale ultrasound (GSUS), and oscillometric indices of macroangiopathy in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Second, to explore the associations between these imaging markers and both patient-related and disease-related characteristics, as well as traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors.
