Brief Summary:
The researchers are trying to determine if the characterization of "vulnerable" carotid artery plaques can be accomplished with ultrasound-based methods that look for vessels in the plaque and measure the plaque stiffness.
Detailed Description:
All participants will receive a one time Carotid contrast-enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) examination that may take 30-60 minutes. Follow up calls will be made to the Participants at 6, 12 ,24 and 36 months to ask about occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events.
