Carotid Plaque Calcification Associates with Cardiac Morbidity, Mortality and Systemic Atherosclerotic Disease in a Sex-Specific Manner

2026-07-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Carotid plaque calcification is commonly interpreted as a marker of atherosclerotic burden, but its prognostic meaning may depend on calcification morphology. Whether histologically defined calcification subtypes in carotid plaques identify systemic cardiovascular disease and long-term cardiac risk remains unclear. <h4>Methods</h4> We studied 479 patients, including 154 women, undergoing caro...
