Abstract
Plaques in subclavian arteries are often detected in asymptomatic subjects with vascular risk factors and normal carotid arteries even with low vascular risk scores. Study of the subclavian arteries appears as a simple strategy for the detection of subclinical atherosclerosis. Its role for improving cardiovascular risk scales and predicting coronary and cerebrovascular events needs to be further explored.
