Does the presence of IPH in the carotid atherosclerotic plaque predict incident stroke and CHD in healthy persons with subclinical atherosclerosis?
Intraplaque hemorrhage in carotid atherosclerotic plaques is an independent risk factor for stroke and CHD, showing promise as a marker of plaque vulnerability.
