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

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

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 …

Background: Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) or the presence of carotid plaque has
been reported to be related to coronary artery disease (CAD). We evaluated the relationship …

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 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 …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between carotid artery
disease by ultrasound and coronary artery disease by coronary computed tomography …

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 …

Results The angiographic findings were single-vessel disease, double-vessel disease, and
triple-vessel disease in 18%, 11.5%, and 20.5% of cases, respectively, while there were no …

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