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 …

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 …

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 and aims Although comprehensive risk factor modification is recommended, a
uniform management strategy does not necessarily prevent secondary events in patients …

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 …

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

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 …

Carotid ultrasonography is a safe and available noninvasive diagnostic tool that provides
information about the carotid arteries' characteristics and may be used for early detection of …

Background Several studies have shown that the risk of cardiovascular events is higher in
subjects with ultrasound evidence of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis. The aim of our study …
