Therefore, this is a strong rationale to consider that cardiovascular event may ultimately be more closely related to carotid artery rather than brachial

The major cause of CHD is atherosclerosis, the build-up of fat deposits (plaque) and other cellular waste products on the walls in arteries that cause further inflammation and narrowing or complete blockage of major heart vessels. As a result, the decreased blood flow cause chest pain and shortness of breath. In some cases, a
