There have been conflicting reports regarding the effects of carotid ultrasonographic screening (CUS) on health-related behaviors1- 3; however, long-term studies have not evaluated the effects of CUS on clinical outcomes.4 This study's objectives were to determine if patients with advanced subclinical atherosclerosis (AdvAthero) on CUS are more likely to achieve guideline-based risk factor goals and improve their long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) health-related behaviors.
