After the SE and CEUS examination, patients will be grouped per the result of SE and CEUS as follows: group I: plaque neovascularization and normal wall motion; group II: plaque neovascularization and abnormal wall motion; group III: no plaque neovascularization and abnormal wall motion; group IV: no plaque neovascularization and normal wall motion.

New Technologies to Determine Carotid Plaque Vulnerability: A Pilot Study to Assess Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) and Strain Deformation Imaging in Patients of Known or Suspected Coronary Artery Disease

The primary endpoint is the cumulative incidence of cardiac death during the 24 months followup from the SE and carotid imaging (strain and CEUS).

All patients will be followed up by reviewing electronic medical records (EMR) and/ or phone contact using standardized approved questionnaire survey at 6, 12 and 24 months after ultrasound studies have been completed. The outcome is major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including cardiac death, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), unstable angina pectoris, nonfatal acute myocardial infarction, and stroke.

The study supplementation will be introduced in the daily diet according to the participant preference to a total of 27g of Aleurone/day. One bread bun (35 g) contains 4.8 g Aleurone; one biscuit (15 g) contains 4 g Aleurone; 36 g of RTE cereals contain 9 g Aleurone.

The study supplementation will be introduced in the daily diet according to the participant preference to a total of 27g of Hemicellulose/day. One bread bun (35 g) contains 4.8 g Hemicellulose; one biscuit (15 g) contains 4 g Hemicellulose; 36 g of RTE cereals contain 9 g Hemicellulose. Placebo products contain the same levels of cellulose in place of aleurone's dietary fiber content.
