Conclusions

Carotid plaque fibrous and calcium-like tissues are correlated with increased CAD. Increased percent fat or percent calcium is associated with risk for CV events; however, a combination of plaque height, percent calcium, and/or percent fat increases risk for CV events. Incorporating ultrasound carotid plaque composition into screening practice may improve patient risk stratification for heart disease.
