Association of carotid artery plaque with cardiovascular events and incident coronary artery calcium in individuals with absent coronary calcification: the MESA
Background: Absence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) identifies asymptomatic individuals
at low cardiovascular disease risk. Carotid artery plaque is a marker of increased risk, but its …
