May guide risk assessment in CHD; leaves open prospective validation of these associations.

Structured PICO

P
Population
77 Japanese subjects with coronary heart disease (CHD)
O
Outcome
Carotid atherosclerosis (assessed by carotid ultrasonographic score) and silent cerebral infarction (assessed by brain computed tomographic score)surrogate

Age, apolipoprotein B, and hypertension are independent risk factors for carotid atherosclerosis and silent cerebral infarction in patients with coronary heart disease, highlighting the need for targeted screening in this population.
