Carotid plaque thickness and carotid plaque burden predict future cardiovascular events in asymptomatic adult Americans

Abstract

The simpler cPTmax predicted cardiovascular events similarly to the more comprehensive cPB, whereas IMT did not. Awaiting true 3D ultrasound technology cPTmax may be a simple useful measure for prediction of future ASCVD.
