SIMULTANEOUS CAROTID ULTRASONOGRAPHY PROVIDES INCREMENTAL PROGNOSTIC VALUE BEYOND CLINICAL AND STRESS ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY DATA IN PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED ANGINA WITHOUT KNOWN CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY

Carotid plaque burden (CPD) has been shown to predict cardiovascular risk beyond traditional risk factors. However, potential impact of CPD in patients undergoing stress echocardiography (SE) for new onset chest pain without known coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown. Consecutive patients with
