OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between common carotid artery diameter (CCA-D) and target organ damage (TOD) in essential hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 200 essential hypertensive patients were enrolled (mean age 62.5 ± 9.5, men 59.0%) and were classified into two groups by the height-adjusted mean median of CCA-D: patients with CCA-D/height less than 3.905 mm/m (n = 100, 50%) and patients with CCA-D/height more than 3.905 mm/m (n = 100, 50%). Patients with CCA-D/height more than 3.905 mm/m have higher left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (P
