Among them, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CHD and stroke) have become the top two causes of death worldwide, with elderly patients accounting for the vast majority. CHD is an important cause of death, and atherosclerosis (AS) is the main pathology underlying it.AS predominantly occurs in the intima layer, and the use of high-resolution imaging techniques to visualize anatomical changes in the intima-media layer of the arteries alone is valuable for the study of AS. Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) and intracranial vascular magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) can clearly visualize coronary and intracranial arterial lesions, measure luminal stenosis and other important information, and provide a basis for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the disease. By integrating CCTA/MRA/Ultrasound multimodal imaging technology, investigators aim to develop a non-invasive CHD and stroke intelligent screening and evaluation system, which is bound to have great clinical and social value.\n\nThis study is a national multi-center follow-up observational study, which is expected to collect and establish a database of clinical and imaging information of no less than 20,000 cases of elderly subjects. Some data is derived from the pre-established database (\\>12,000 cases) in cooperative research centers, while additional data will be collected from the newly established prospective follow-up database. Investigators performed noninvasive high-frequency ultrasound to detect arterial vascular structural changes, vascular dynamics and other indicators based on the existing database and the newly established imaging database to explore the characteristics of carotid atherosclerosis changes and ultrasound monitoring methods in the elderly. Finally, investigators integrated clinical and multimodal noninvasive imaging information to construct a noninvasive imaging-based intelligent risk assessment system for CHD and stroke.\n\nPrimary endpoint was the cardiovascular-complex endpoint event,including myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death, resuscitation with cardiac arrest, revascularization, and stroke. Secondary endpoint was vascular lesion progression, including increase of vascular intima thickness, increase of vascular media thickness, plaque progression, and increase of vascular stenosis. All enrolled patients were followed up every six months to record whether the primary endpoint and secondary endpoint events occurred and to record the time and type of occurrence.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '60 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': "Patients come from the following hospitals:\n\n* Qilu Hospital of Shandong University,\n* Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University,\n* Chinese PLA General Hospital\n* Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine\n* Shenzhen People's Hospital\n* The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University.", 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age ≥ 60 years\n* All patients had original ultrasound images of bilateral carotid arteries with DICOM format and arteriosclerosis clinical and laboratory data\n* Original data of CCTA or examination results in the baseline status are needed for CHD patients\n* Original data of intracranial artery MRA or examination results in the baseline status are needed for patients with ischemic stroke.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age is \\<60 years old\n* Severe cardiac insufficiency, New York Heart Association(NYHA) class IV and (or) left ventricular ejection fraction \\<30%\n* Uncontrollable severe hypertension (systolic blood pressure≥ 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure≥ 110 mmHg) or uncontrollable severe diabetes mellitus, i.e., diabetes mellitus complicated with acute complications (including diabetic ketoacidosis and hypertonic hyperglycemic nonketosis coma), or acute hyperglycemic state (random blood glucose\\> 16.7mmol/L and (or) blood ketone 1.0-3.0mmol/L) without acute complications\n* Severe valvular disease (moderate regurgitation and / or stenosis in each valve)\n* Various cardiomyopathy caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, myocardial amyloidosis\n* Severe arrhythmia: persistent atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, degree II 2 and above atrioventricular block, complete left bundle branch block\n* Severe hepatic and renal insufficiency (glutamate transaminase and / or glutamine transaminase\\> 3 times the upper limit of normal value, Blood creatinine\\> 134 μmol/L or an estimated glomerular filtration rate of \\<60ml/min/1.73m2)\n* Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma\n* Severe non-cardiovascular disease (malignant tumor, thyroid disease, infection, connective tissue disease)\n* Mental retardation or mental disorders\n* Life expectancy \\<3 years due to various factors\n* Refusal to sign informed consent\n* Allergy to contrast agent should also be ruled out for patients undergoing CCTA for CHD.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06221618', 'briefTitle': 'Evaluation of Vascular Structure in Elderly Using High-frequency Ultrasound and Construction of a Multimodal Risk Assessment System for Cardiovascular Diseases: a Multicenter Study', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Qilu Hospital of Shandong University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Evaluation of Vascular Structure in Elderly Using High-frequency Ultrasound and Construction of a Multimodal Risk Assessment System for Cardiovascular Diseases: a Multicenter Study', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'KYLL-202212(XZ)-015-1'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Coronary heart disease cohort', 'description': 'CCTA required for coronary heart disease cohort', 'interventionNames': ['Other: High-frequency carotid arteries ultrasound, CCTA, Cranial MRA']}, {'label': 'Stroke cohort', 'description': 'Cranial MRA required for stroke cohort', 'interventionNames': ['Other: High-frequency carotid arteries ultrasound, CCTA, Cranial MRA']}, {'label': 'Normal control group', 'description': 'Healthy elderly without coronary heart disease and stroke (≥ 60 years old)', 'interventionNames': ['Other: High-frequency carotid arteries ultrasound, CCTA, Cranial MRA']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'High-frequency carotid arteries ultrasound, CCTA, Cranial MRA', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'CCTA and carotid high-frequency ultrasound for all patients in the coronary heart disease cohort.
