Cardio-vascular technology: Cardiovascular technology describes the diagnosis and treatment of heart-related and blood vessels-related conditions. Cardiac Technology explains how to use imaging technology and perform an ultrasound. Observing heart rates, elucidating procedures to patients and reviewing their ...
Indeed, pathologies affecting the cardiovascular system, which are growing in prevalence, are the leading cause of global morbidity, disability and mortality, whereas the maintenance of cardiovascular health is necessary to promote both organismal healthspan and lifespan. Therefore, cardiovascular ageing ...

Cardiovascular Ultrasound A cardiovascular ultrasound, also known as an echocardiogram or cardiac ultrasound, is a non-invasive imaging technique for assessing the structure and function of the heart and blood vessels. It utilizes high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to create real-time images of ...

(ACS) and atheroma volume greater than 30% determined via intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) were randomized to 10 weekly infusions of CER-001 at dose of 3 mg/kg or placebo [64]. IVUS was repeated 1–3 weeks after the last infusion. Disappointingly, there was no significant difference in the...
