“…This fact may express the improvement in the diagnostic method or be associated with the higher disease severity presented by the patients treated at our institution. a low-sensitivity finding, there is a 30-50% possibility that the stenosis is >50% at the ultrasound assessment 16 . In the present study, patients with carotid bruit presented a 4.24-fold higher risk for hemodynamically significant stenosis, which reinforces the importance of the physical examination.…”
