Özet

Background: Cardiovascular (CV) disease prevention guidelines have addressed how imaging may influence CV risk determined by established risk score systems in primary prevention. Nevertheless, data are lacking regarding the use of femoral artery ultrasonography for CV risk modification. Herein, we hypothesized that femoral artery plaque and its characteristics, as well as femoral intima-media thickness (fIMT) measurements, may predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
