Background: Early screening, diagnosis, risk assessment, and intervention of intima-media
thickness (IMT) and carotid plaques is critical for assessing the risk of coronary heart …

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

OBJECTIVES: This study examined whether combined ultrasound assessment of plaque
size and echolucency in the carotid artery had an additive effect for predicting coronary …

OBJECTIVES: Carotid ultrasonography is noninvasive and effective for the assessment of
atherosclerotic lesions. The relationship between carotid ultrasound findings and presence …

Background: It is well known that the majority of cardiovascular (CV) events are caused by
atherosclerotic plaque. However, it has recently been shown that it is not the quantity of …

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 …

Background Although carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is the most commonly used
ultrasonic measurement of atherosclerosis, plaque burden can be also assessed by …

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

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 …

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 …
