At baseline, the participants were examined with PR, and in 737 patients and 739 controls, the carotid artery region was assessable. Calcified carotid artery atheromas were identified in 251 (34%) patients and 205 (28%) controls at baseline. The primary endpoint was defined as the first occurrence of all-cause mortality, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, or hospitalization following heart failure after a mean follow-up of 10\u2009years. The risks of cardiovascular events and death were evaluated using event survival analysis and regression models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants with bilateral CCAAs, regardless of whether they were patients or controls, had significantly higher mortality and morbidity than those without CCAA (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). The risk of cardiovascular events was increased in the presence of bilateral CCAAs among both controls (hazard ratio = 1.96 [95% CI, 1.21\u20133.16], P\u2009=\u2009.006) and patients (1.67 [1.15\u20132.43], P\u2009=\u2009.007).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Bilateral CCAAs on PRs were an indicator of an increased risk of future cardiovascular events and early death among both controls and patients in the PAROKRANK study.
