A study shows that 3D ultrasound incorporating new matrix technology is reliable, accurate, and faster than previous methods for the assessment of plaque volume in the carotid and femoral arteries. A ...

Sonolysis, an application of therapeutic ultrasound, reduced periprocedural cerebrovascular events during carotid endarterectomy. The safety profile of sonolysis was supported by a reported lack of ...

Carotid artery stenting is associated with a higher long-term risk for moderate or higher restenosis than is the surgical procedure of endarterectomy, but this did not seem to translate into an ...

Persistent asthma is associated with increased carotid plaque burden and higher levels of inflammation, putting these patients at risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events, new ...

A new imaging technique for real 3D vascular ultrasound could become a key tool in strategies aimed at preventing cardiovascular disease in apparently healthy persons, complementing traditional risk ...
