Does carotid FDG Uptake improve Prediction of Future Cardiovascular Events in Asymptomatic Individuals?
High carotid FDG uptake predicts cardiovascular events independent of traditional risk factors and CIMT in asymptomatic adults and may add to risk stratification beyond the FRS and CIMT.
Our results are sufficient to demonstrate the validity of pulse oximetry for avoiding indiscriminate oxygen supplementation in patients admitted to the PRU.
