BackgroundThe utility of screening for the degree of common carotid artery (CCA) stenosis as a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a general population remains unclear.Methods and ResultsWe studied 4775 Japanese men and women whose CCA was measured using bilateral carotid ultrasonography at baseline (April 1994–August 2001).
