No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Cardiovascular disease is a common diagnosed and treated condition in private practices of primary health care. There is growing evidence that atherosclerotic plaques as predictors for stroke and heart attack are more prevalent than expected based on the clinical score in people with low risk for stroke and heart attack .

Diagnosing atherosclerotic plaques can help to decide if a lipid lowering therapy should be prescribed even if the clinical risk score is low or on the other hand if they can be observed even in high lipid levels.
