Smaller carotid diameters in CAD may reflect shared remodeling; leaves open predictive value and clinical utility pending longitudinal data.
Do carotid arterial interadventitial and lumen diameters differ between patients with documented coronary artery disease and disease-free controls?
Internal carotid artery lumen and interadventitial diameters are smaller in patients with coronary artery disease compared to healthy controls, highlighting segment-specific differences in arterial remodeling.
Terry et al. (2003) studied this question.
