Common carotid artery end-diastolic velocity is independently associated with future cardiovascular events

Low common carotid EDV and PSV were independently associated with future CVD, and EDV improved the prediction of future CVD. More prospective studies are required in different ethnic groups to understand the significance and implication of these findings.
