Signs of atherosclerosis in the carotid artery were detectable in 12% of CeAD patient at baseline. Additionally, 11% of CeAD patients developed new signs of atherosclerosis within the following 5 years. The presence of atherosclerosis may suggest a lower risk for recurrent CeAD. Whether it might indicate an increased risk for late clinical vascular events deserves further studies.
