Abstract

Calculation of the risk of score (a high-risk strategy) is a standard of cardiovascular risk evaluation, but the majority of acute cardiovascular events occur in individuals with a low calculated risk. Early detection of subclinical atherosclerosis (SA) as a powerful predictor of the acute cardiovascular events is the most promising alternative approach. In this review we discuss the carotid ultrasound - one of the most common methods of SA detection. Despite the large number of studies and an undoubted interest in this technique there are a large number of still unresolved issues associated with it.
