Main finding · CV deathResult — go to the resultHazard ratio 1.50 95% CI 1.12–2.00Authors' conclusion
CH status in combination with the extent of carotid atherosclerosis jointly predict long-term mortality.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis evaluated by duplex sonographymedian age 69.2 years
- Participants
- 968 patients
- Exposure
- CH vs no CH
- CHn = 133
- Outcome
- CV death

Further findings
CV mortality, >50% carotid stenosis with concomitant CH
| Adjusted HR (95% CI) | P value | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| >50% stenosis + CH | 1.60 (1.08–2.38) | P = 0.020 | |
| 0.512Adjusted hazard ratio (log scale) |
- CH prevalence
- 13.7% · 133
CH prevalence
- Prevalence increasing at advanced age
CV death by age and inflammatory status
- Effect of CH more pronounced in older patients and independent of hs-CRP
