A standard transthoracic B-mode echocardiography/Doppler examination was carried out with commercially available ultrasound systems, comprising “GE Medical Systems” (General Electric, Freiburg, Germany), “Aplio 400” (Canon Medical Systems, Tochigi, Japan), and “Vivid E9” (General Electric Vingmed Ultrasound AS, Horten, Norway), in accordance with the current guidelines of the American Society of Echocardiography/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging [37 (link)]. The echocardiographic Doppler assessments were focused on LV systolic and diastolic functions and LV hypertrophy (LVH) [38 (link)]. Cardiac volumes, left ventricular (LV) ejection fractions (LVEF), and left atrial volume indices (LAVI) were measured using the Simpson method. The LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) were normalized to the body surface area (BSA) and given as the LVEDV index (LVEDVi) and LVESV index (LVESVi). LVH was determined by the conventional echo criteria (LV mass/body surface area ≥125 g/m2 in males or ≥110 g/m2 in females). The early diastolic wave velocity (E) and mitral annular early diastolic velocity, given as averaged septal and lateral e` (e`) and E/e’ ratios, were determined by a pulsed-wave Doppler and a spectral tissue Doppler obtained from the apical 4-chamber view.

All study echocardiograms were performed by dedicated ultra-sonographers using the following equipment: Aplio 400 (Canon Medical Systems, Tochigi, Japan), EPIQ7G (Philips Healthcare, Amsterdam, Netherland), and iE33 (Philips Healthcare, Amsterdam, Netherland). A standardized protocol, in accordance with international guidelines [20 (link), 21 (link)], was used for the echocardiographic examinations. The left ventricular mass index was measured and indexed to the body surface area using the equation provided by Devereux et al. [22 (link)]. The antegrade systolic velocity across the aortic valve was measured using continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound [20 (link)]. The aortic valve area was assessed on two-dimensional echocardiograms using the continuity equation. The mean pressure gradient was calculated using pulse and continuous-wave Doppler assessment of the aortic valve. AS severity was categorized based on standard definitions for peak velocity (mild: 2.0–2.9 m/s, moderate: 3.0–3.9 m/s, severe: ≥4.0 m/s) or mean gradient (mild: <20 mm Hg, moderate: 20–39 mm Hg, severe: ≥40 mm Hg) [23 (link)].

The carotid intima-media thickness was measured using a high-resolution Doppler ultrasound Canon Aplio 400 (TUS-A400 model) with a linear 8–10 MHz transducer. The scans involved capturing B-mode images of the left and right common carotid arteries, the carotid bulb, external carotid artery and internal carotid artery. The average cIMT of the right and left common carotid arteries was assessed at least at 1 cm proximally from the origin of the bulb. An atherosclerotic plaque was identified as a localized thickening of the vessel wall that was at least 50% greater than the surrounding region or as a distinct intimal thickening protruding into the lumen, measuring more than 1.5 mm. All studies were conducted by a single vascular ultrasonographist who was blinded for the clinical data.

Plaque was measured using an ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, Aplio 400 (Canon Medical systems, Tochigi, Japan) and LOGIQ S7 Expert (GE Healthcare Japan, Tokyo) in raw study.21 (link) The carotid artery was classified into four 15 mm long length sections: the external side of the common carotid artery (CCA), the central side of the CCA, the medial side of the inner carotid artery and the common carotid bifurcation. Then, the sum of the maximum values of intima-media thickness (IMT) exceeding 1.1 mm was calculated. In the raw data,21 (link) the plaque score was recorded as ‘0’ when IMT <1.1 mm and the specific IMT value was recorded when IMT ≥1.1 mm. The plaque was defined as IMT ≥1.1 mm based on ‘Use of carotid ultrasound to identify subclinical vascular disease and evaluate cardiovascular disease risk: a consensus statement from the American Society of Echocardiography Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Task Force. Endorsed by the Society for Vascular Medicine’,22 (link) as described in the previous analysis,23 24 (link) but the subtypes of carotid plaque were not collected in the original database.
