Acoustic shadowing on B-mode ultrasound of the carotid artery predicts CHD
KJ Hunt, AR Sharrett, LE Chambless, AR Folsom… - Ultrasound in medicine …, 2001 - Elsevier
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
examined in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study cohort. Among 12,375
individuals, ages 45–64 years, free of CHD at baseline, 399 CHD events occurred between
1987–1995. In a 3-cm segment centered at the carotid bifurcation, CALs with and without AS
were identified by B-mode ultrasound (US). After adjustment for the major CHD risk factors …
