Is the presence of a carotid artery lipid core on MRI associated with incident CVD events in asymptomatic participants?
Identifying a carotid artery lipid core on MRI may help predict incident cardiovascular events in asymptomatic individuals, independent of wall thickness.
The presence of a CA lipid core on MRI is associated with incident CVD events independent of maximum CA wall thickness in asymptomatic participants.
Brunner et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
