Cardiovascular disease risk categories based on SCORE algorithms and age: reclassification based on number of carotid and common femoral bifurcations with plaque
Because ultrasound is relatively inexpensive, and because ascertaining the presence of plaque in four superficial arterial bifurcations is a much easier and less time-consuming method than measurements of plaque thickness, area, or volume, this method has the potential for a practical clinical application.
