Abstract
Carotid ultrasound and CACscore are useful for identifying subclinical atheromatosis in patients with SSc and are superior compared to risk charts used for general population. HDL cholesterol and age were independent factors for the presence of subclinical atherosclerotic disease. A carotid ultrasound or CT should be performed for early detection of subclinical atheromatosis if these factors are present.
