Among patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy,coronary events occurred twice as often as cerebral recurrences.A preoperative noninvasive cardiac investigation,including EET,can adequately identify groups of patients with diverse short-and long-term prognoses.In addition to patients with known CAD,those with silent CAD or who are unable to exercise represent, without the need of further investigation,groups at high risk of coronary events in long-term follow-up. |
