Does carotid ultrasound screening showing advanced subclinical atherosclerosis improve achievement of guideline-based risk factor goals and long-term cardiovascular disease health-related behaviors?
This study aims to evaluate whether identifying advanced subclinical atherosclerosis via carotid ultrasound screening improves long-term health-related behaviors and risk factor goal achievement.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
No results reported; leaves open whether carotid ultrasound screening improves risk factor goals or behaviors.
There have been conflicting reports regarding the effects of carotid ultrasound screening (CUS) on health-related behaviors (HRBs),1–3 however long-term studies have not evaluated the effects of CUS on clinical outcomes.4 This study’s objectives were to determine if patients with advanced subclinical atherosclerosis (AdvAthero) on CUS are more likely to achieve guideline-based risk factor goals and improve their long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) HRBs.

Heather M. Johnson (2011) conducted an observational in advanced subclinical atherosclerosis. carotid ultrasound screening (CUS) was evaluated on achievement of guideline-based risk factor goals and improvement in long-term cardiovascular disease health-related behaviors.
