Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis may be identified during routine physical examination by the presence of a carotid bruit (on auscultation) or during carotid duplex ultrasonography screening of high-risk patients, such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and hypertension, because atherosclerosis is frequently manifest at multiple sites of cardiovascular system (see Table 1).
