Carotid Artery Longitudinal Displacement Predicts 1-Year Cardiovascular Outcome in Patients With Suspected Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

VVI-derived tLoD seems to reflect cardiovascular status and predicts short-term event-free survival in medium- to high-risk patients. Finally, tLoD per se or in combination with intima-media thickness measurement may be a novel cardiovascular surrogate biomarker.
