Common carotid artery wall thickness and external diameter as predictors of prevalent and incident cardiac events in a large population study

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Arterial diameters enlarge in response to wall thickening, plaques, and many atherosclerotic risk factors. We hypothesized that right common carotid artery (RCCA) diameter would be independently associated with cardiac disease and im...
