Key result
Carotid atherosclerosis detected by ultrasonography during health check-ups was significantly correlated with aortic and coronary calcification on CT and ischemic brain lesions on MRI.

Does carotid atherosclerosis assessed by ultrasonography correlate with aortic/coronary calcification and ischemic cerebrovascular lesions in adults undergoing physical check-ups?
Carotid atherosclerosis detected by ultrasonography during routine check-ups is significantly correlated with aortic and coronary calcification as well as ischemic cerebrovascular lesions, highlighting its usefulness as a screening tool for systemic atherosclerosis.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support carotid ultrasound for detecting systemic atherosclerosis in check-ups; hypothesis-generating pending prospective validation.

Mochizuki et al. (2003) conducted a cross-sectional in Atherosclerosis (n=719). Carotid ultrasonography was evaluated on Association of carotid atherosclerosis with aortic/coronary calcification on chest CT and ischemic brain lesions on MRI. Carotid atherosclerosis detected by ultrasonography during health check-ups was significantly correlated with aortic and coronary calcification on CT and ischemic brain lesions on MRI.
