The P-SONAR study is a large, observational, prospective cohort study. The overall aim of the study is to investigate whether plaque burden estimation by 2D ultrasound of the carotid and femoral arteries may enhance cardiovascular risk prediction beyond NORRISK-2
Design: The P-SONAR Study is a prospective cohort study of all men and women aged 45-74 years attending a health check at one of 10 ultrasound clinics in Norway. Time schedule: Study inclusion and baseline examinations took place in the period April 2022- March 20025. Current status: Ultrasound follow-up examinations take place from January 2025 - December 2029.
