Detailed description

Patients who had obstructive CAD (defined as ≥50% luminal stenosis) confirmed by coronary angiography and who underwent carotid scanning were included in the final analysis.Carotid ultrasonography was performed simultaneously, and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), maximum thickness and length of all plaques were measured.The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events was recorded during follow-up.
