Ultrasonographically assessed carotid morphology and the risk of coronary heart disease.
Abstract
As ultrasonographically assessed carotid arteriosclerosis is being used as a surrogate measure for coronary arteriosclerosis, we performed a prospective longitudinal study of the association of our high-resolution ultrasound assessment of extracranial carotid morphology with the risk of acute coronary events in 1,288 eastern Finnish men. The presence of any structural changes in the common carotid arteries or carotid bulbs was associated with a 3.29-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.31-8.29; p = 0.0074), intimal-medial thickening with a 2.17-fold (95% confidence interval, 0.70-6.74; p = NS), small carotid plaques with a 4.15-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.51-11.47; p less than 0.01), and large ("stenotic") plaques with a 6.71-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.33-33.91; p less than 0.01) risk of acute myocardial infarction compared with men free of any structural changes in the carotid artery wall at baseline. These data confirm the close relation between carotid artery wall morphology and coronary heart disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
