A prospective study of 700 patients with coronary artery disease will undergo non invasive evaluation of their carotid arteries by ultrasound and microwave radiometry. The patients will be followed up for 3 years and their outcome regarding the cardiovascular events (death, cardiac events, cerebrovascular events) will be recorded

To detect if carotid ultrasound and carotid microwave radiometry measurements can predict the incidence of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease
Microwave radiometry is a non invasive and safe technique that measures temperature of the internal tissues by detecting the normal radiation of the tissues in microwave frequencies. The primary outcome of the study is to see if the temperatures measured in the carotid arteries of patients with coronary artery disease can predict their outcome regarding cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events

Patients that DONT have carotid thermal heterogeneity detected by MR
Patients with detected carotid artery disease by ultrasound
Patients with no carotid artery disease detected by ultrasound
