Atherosclerosis is a key pathological process that causes a plethora of pathologies,
including coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and ischemic stroke. The silent …

Objective: Intravascular elastography is concerned with methods for measuring the local
elastic properties using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). The elastic properties of the vessel …

Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of most myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic
strokes. B-mode ultrasound of carotid arteries provides measures of intima-media thickness …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) primarily caused by atherosclerosis is a major cause of death
and disability in developed countries. Sonographic carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is …

Background Carotid intima‐media thickness (IMT) and plaque are recognized markers of
increased risk for cerebrovascular events. Accurate visualization of the IMT and plaques is …

Executive summary Noninvasive measures of atherosclerosis have emerged as adjuncts to
standard cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in an attempt to refine risk stratification …

The composition and morphology of the atherosclerotic lesion are currently considered more
important determinants of acute coronary ischemic syndromes than the degree of stenosis …

Intravascular ultrasound elastography is a method for measuring the local elastic properties
of coronary atherosclerotic plaques using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Mechanical …

Carotid artery vessel wall assessment in the form of intima-media thickness (IMT) has been
identified since the late 1970's as a sensitive tool to detect atherosclerosis, predict its …

Objectives We investigated the use of carotid intima–media thickness and carotid plaque in
predicting significant angiographic coronary stenosis. Methods Three hundred eighteen …
