We analyzed carotid duplex ultrasound (CDU) in DeBakey I acute aortic dissection to identify characteristics and establish a protocol to ensure appropriate evaluation. Method.€" From 2002 to 2011, patients with CDU and proximal aortic dissection were identified. The protocol included color Doppler ...
Early ultrasound examination of extracranial vessels should be considered in the case of atypical presentation of IS. Importantly, “red flags” that require further investigation in addition to the conventional thrombolysis protocol should be identified. As in our case presented, symptoms, suggesting of...
Since atherosclerosis is a common disease, diagnosis support systems must be economical in order to keep the financial burden on society as low as possible. The Common Carotid Artery (CCA) is routinely used to detect the presence of plaques. Ultrasound imaging is cost-effective and affordable, an...
Use of carotid ultrasound to identify subclinical vascular disease and evaluate cardiovascular disease risk: a consensus statement from the American Society of Echocardiography Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Task Force. Endorsed by the Society for Vascular Medicine. J Am Soc Echocardiogr. 2008;21(2):...
The left common carotid artery was scanned by ultrasound technicians following a standardized protocol. The image was focused on the posterior (far) wall, and gain settings were used to optimize image quality. A resolution box function (zoom) was used to record an image 25 mm wide and 15 mm...
During the last 6 months of the 1995-1996 survey of young adults aged 20 to 38 years (n = 1420), B-mode ultrasound examination of the carotid artery was introduced (n = 516). Those participants who had carotid IMT measurements compared with the rest of the study cohort were similar with...
(CTA), or catheter-based contrast angiography are reserved for special circumstances.9 Use of MRA or CTA in conjunction with duplex ultrasound of the carotid artery is considered when the results of duplex ultrasonography are difficult to interpret or incon sistent with the clinical presentation....
Subjects who were born between 1 October 1952 and 30 September 1964, and had the carotid ultrasound measurement were enrolled. All included participants were divided into five groups: no exposure, fetal exposure, early-childhood exposure, mid-childhood exposure, and late-childhood exposure. Carotid ...
Meantime, in terms of efficacy indicators, most clinical studies were limited to assessing the effect of TCM on inflammatory factors and blood lipids in serum or using primary or subjective means such as ultrasound to evaluate As plaque. High-quality randomized, double-blind, and controlled studies...
