Ultrasound measurement of carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) and plaque thickness
(PT) may be an additional tool for risk stratification of patients with suspected acute coronary …

Carotid disease is a common finding in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and its
presence is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Intima-media thickness provides …

Objectives We investigated the use of carotid intima–media thickness and carotid plaque in
predicting significant angiographic coronary stenosis. Methods Three hundred eighteen …

Objective To investigate the usefulness of carotid ultrasound evaluation in predicting the
presence and the extent of coronary artery disease in a consecutive series of patients …

Purpose To assess carotid intima‐media thickness (IMT), carotid plaques, and
cardiovascular risk factors in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CHD) to …

OBJECTIVES: We conducted the meta-analysis to compare the diagnostic accuracies of
carotid plaque and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measured by B-mode …

Aims Data regarding the relationship between carotid plaque length (CPL) and coronary
artery disease (CAD) are lacking. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of CPL for …

Background Carotid ultrasound is a noninvasive tool for risk assessment of coronary artery
disease (CAD). There is no consensus on which carotid ultrasound parameter constitutes …

Aims Although well supported by postmortem studies, the reliability of carotid
atherosclerosis as surrogate marker of coronary atherosclerosis has been put in doubt by in …

We determined whether increased carotid intima–media thickness (cIMT) and prevalence of
carotid plaque (CP) are predictive of prevalence and severity of coronary atherosclerosis …
