Carotid artery ultrasound imaging is a crucial tool in assessing cardiovascular health, particularly for detecting conditions like atherosclerosis, which can lead to strokes. The segmentation of ...

We conclude that estimates of carotid artery distensibility and cross-sectional compliance derived from M-mode ultrasound recordings are moderately repeatable and may provide useful additional end ...

Q: I'm worried about carotid artery disease — what symptoms should I watch for? A: Carotid artery disease often develops silently but can present symptoms such as sudden weakness or numbness on ...

Systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery was estimated from the interval between pulmonary valve closure and tricuspid valve opening, and the heart rate using a nomogram previously described. The ...

Background: The risk of ischaemic events in asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis is unknown. Objective: To follow up patients with asymptomatic atherosclerotic middle cerebral artery stenosis ...

Objective To report a multi-institutional experience using this BGC for proximal flow control (PFC) in the setting of carotid artery angioplasty/stenting (CAS) in elective (eCAS) and tandem strokes ...

The triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a reliable marker of insulin resistance. However, its value in patients with carotid plaque stability remains unclear. This study investigated ...

Current available ultrasound velocimetry ... flow of the radial artery and carotid artery in a healthy volunteer. Results show that the absolute velocity profiles obtained with VT-vUS at different ...

Colour priority is a function that makes this decision for the machine. This function allows valid grey-scale information to override false Doppler information, eg, it helps suppress motion artefacts ...

Background While dual antiplatelet therapy (dAPT) is standard of care following carotid artery stenting (CAS), the optimal dAPT regimen and duration has not been established. Methods We canvassed a ...
