Background and aims: This review article was conducted for educational purposes to address a general overview of subclinical atherosclerosis, with the aim of reducing information bias with valid and reliable data around subclinical atherosclerosis with medical imaging perspectives around the carotid intima media. Methods: The steps summarizing the flowchart of information selection related to the use of engines providing English and French publications between 1997 and 2022 were followed. Results: The given results relevant to the history, morphology, atherogenesis, epidemioclinics (morbidity and mortality), anatomophysiology and morphopathology (circulating markers and biomarkers of endothelial damage, endothelium and structural markers, function of the endothelium, histopathological alterations, pathophysiology/ chronobiology/ atherogenesis, etiopathogeny of carotid atherosclerosis by medical imaging/ definition of complex interactions with cardiometabolic markers/mediators. Conclusion: Understanding the stages of atherosclerosis will enable the clinician and radiologist to improve the management of ischemic heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular pathology.

Conclusion: Understanding the stages of atherosclerosis will enable the clinician and radiologist to improve the management of ischemic heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular pathology.},
