Abstract
Several studies have shown that the risk of cardiovascular events is higher in subjects with ultrasound evidence of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis. The aim of our study was to demonstrate the correlation between carotid atherosclerosis and severity of coronary artery disease in patients with typical chest pain who performed Doppler ultrasound of carotid arteries and diagnostic coronary angiography during hospitalization.
