Study Design: The investigators will conduct a prospective, single-center, observational study at the Cardiovascular Imaging Network at Queen's (CINQ, www.CINQLab.com). This facility allows a CEUS protocol to be conducted on the same day as the angiogram. It is anticipated that 100 participants can be recruited per month with a total target enrolment of up to 1000 participants. Objectives To determine the test characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, negative/positive predictive values) of carotid plaque by CEUS (Definity(R)) for predicting significant CAD (?50% stenosis) in participants referred for angiography To determine the test characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, predictive values) of carotid plaque by CEUS for predicting future CV events, such as death, stroke, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular interventions.
