. Studies have indicated that the presence and size of subclinical atherosclerotic plaques improve the prediction of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events (ASCVE) over and above that provided by conventional risk factors alone. However, the relative contribution of different ultrasonographic measurements and sites of measurements on the 10-year ASCVD risk is largely unknown. Our aims were to determine the relative performance of carotid intima-media thickness, plaque thickness, and plaque area in 10-year ASCVD prediction when added
