Pro B-type Natriuretic Peptide and Midregional Proadrenomedullin are Associated with Incident Carotid Stenosis During Long Term Follow-up

Background: Plasma biomarkers may be useful to detect healthy individuals at increased risk for atherosclerotic manifestations, such as carotid artery stenosis.
