Point-of-care ultrasonography of carotid arteries in primary care: sensitivity and specificity of identification of carotid atherosclerosis and prevalence of carotid atherosclerosis in apparently healthy subjects with high and very high cardiovascular disease risk

Abstract Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a major global health concern, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality.
