Objectives To describe the findings and evaluate appropriateness of a carotid artery study
including the measurement of IMT, the presence of atherosclerotic plaque, and their …

Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and nonstenotic carotid plaques are established
measures of subclinical atherosclerosis and are useful for prediction of future cardiovascular …

Background Ultrasound-detected carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and carotid
plaque are possible screening tests for coronary heart disease (CHD) among asymptomatic …

Background There is a growing evidence that carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) is
associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and it should be used as a predictor of …

doctors due to its accessibility, low cost, speed, safety, and lack of invasiveness. This study
aimed to Determine non-invasive carotid ultrasonography parameters indicative of coronary …

Objectives This study investigated the diagnostic accuracy of carotid ultrasonography in
screening for significant coronary artery disease (% diameter stenosis> or= 75%). Methods …

Background Increased carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) has been extensively
evaluated as a marker of cardiovascular (CV) risk. However, there is only limited evidence …

Background and Aim Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can reliably identify vulnerable
plaques. As atherosclerosis is a systemic disease, we evaluated whether contrast …

The presence of carotid arterial plaque by ultrasound enhances cardiovascular risk
stratification beyond traditional risk factors. However, plaque quantification techniques …
