Abstract
Noncoronary atherosclerosis was associated with severe coronary disease as determined by angiography. Carotid atherosclerosis had a high negative predictive value in subjects with negative stress test results or risk-stratified as low risk. Noninvasive imaging by carotid ultrasonography for noncoronary atherosclerosis may be a good adjunct to clinical risk stratification for premature coronary heart disease.
