Clinical trials: Cardiac Ultrasound
Primary Prevention
Genetical, Anthropometrical and Biochemical Factors Influencing High Risk Subclinical Atherosclerosis
Subclinical atherosclerosis is the atherosclerotic process identified before clinical symptoms and thus it can be a useful marker of future cardiovascular events. It can be evaluated by many methods.
