Resting Ultrasound Coronary Flow Velocity and Carotid Plaque Improve Clinical Risk Stratification in Asymptomatic Adults Undergoing Cardiovascular Screening
Background/Objectives: Conventional cardiovascular risk scores may provide only modest discrimination in asymptomatic individuals undergoing screening. Ultrasound markers, including resting left anterior descending coronary artery peak diastolic flow velocity (V-LAD), carotid plaque, and global longitudinal strain (GLS...
