Purpose
Circumferential speckle tracking carotid artery strain is a novel method of quantifying vessel wall stiffness. We hypothesized that carotid wall stiffness would be associated with carotid intimal medial thickening (a medial process associated with risk factors), but not coronary artery disease (an intimal process).
Methods
Bilateral carotid artery ultrasound was conducted on outpatients...
ObjectivesWe investigated the use of carotid intima–media thickness and carotid plaque in predicting significant angiographic coronary stenosis.
MethodsThree hundred eighteen consecutive outpatients underwent angiography and carotid ultrasound on the same day. The extent of coronary stenosis was determined using an established scoring system. Mean far distal carotid intima–media thickness of the...
