Common Carotid Artery Stenosis Degree as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Disease in a General Population: The Suita Study

Journal of the American Heart Association

years of follow‐up, 385 incident CVD events (159 coronary heart disease and 226 stroke) were documented. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate multivariable‐adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs for incident CVD and its subtypes according to the degree of CCA stenosis. During the median 14.2 years 1.76), 1.72 (1.23–2.40),
