The purpose of this study was to investigate whether screening for internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS) and aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (AAA) is indicated in patients with either manifest atherosclerotic disease or with only risk factors for atherosclerosis. Study design: Data were obtained for 2274 patients enrolled in the SMART study, an ongoing single-center, prospective cohort study of patients referred to our vascular center with manifest atherosclerotic disease (peripheral atherosclerotic disease [PAD]; transient ischemic attack [TIA], stroke, or ICAS; AAA; angina pectoris; or myocardial infarction [MI]) or with only risk factors for atherosclerosis (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia). The presence of ICAS or AAA was determined with duplex scanning and ultrasonography.
