• •Carotid plaque burden is associated with cardiovascular events.
• •Carotid ultrasound provides incremental prognostic information in suspected angina.

In patients with suspected stable angina with no history of cardiovascular disease, carotid atherosclerosis and myocardial ischemia detected by ultrasound provided synergistic information for the long-term prediction of events, but atherosclerosis predicted hard events beyond myocardial ischemia, particularly in patients with a normal SE.
