Overview

May aid risk stratification in high-risk patients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does CEUS-assessed carotid intraplaque neovascularization predict coronary artery disease and future cardiovascular events in high-risk cardiac patients?

P
Population
High-risk cardiac patients
I
Intervention
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) assessment of carotid intraplaque neovascularization (IPN)
O
Outcome
Significant and complex coronary artery disease (CAD) and future cardiovascular (CV) eventshard clinical

CEUS-assessed carotid intraplaque neovascularization is a clinically useful tool for cardiovascular risk stratification in high-risk cardiac patients.
