The relationship between carotid artery plaque (CAP), with and without acoustic shadowing
(AS) as an index of plaque mineralization, to incident cardiovascular events including …

In a cross-sectional study of 8695 men and women free of clinical CVD, aged 45–64 years at
the 1987–1989 baseline Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study exam, we …

To investigate the association of gender, ethnicity, and several cardiovascular risk factors
with carotid artery plaque and plaque with acoustic shadowing in a population‐based …

The relationship between carotid artery lesions (CALs), with and without acoustic shadowing
(AS) as an index of arterial mineralization, and incident coronary heart disease (CHD) was …

Background and Purpose—Calcified arterial plaque has been proposed as a subclinical
marker of atherosclerosis. We compared it to a well-validated surrogate—carotid intimal …

BACKGROUND: Elevated serum calcium concentrations are associated with vascular
calcification and cardiovascular disease. It is unknown whether there is a relationship …

There is little information on the distribution of atherosclerotic lesions of the extracranial
carotid artery wall in free-living populations. The purpose of the present study was to …

Background: Increasing coronary artery calcium is directly associated with an increasing risk
of obstructive heart disease. Whether a similar association exists between the amount of …

Background & Objectives: Overt carotid stenosis and plaque stability are critical
determinants of risk for ischemic stroke. Although coronary artery calcium (CAC) is related to …

Background and Purpose—We examined the relationship of carotid artery lesions (CALs),
with and without acoustic shadowing (AS), to incident ischemic stroke events in the …
