Objective: As a vascular risk factor, carotid atherosclerosis is crucial to cognitive impairment.
While carotid intima-media thickness, carotid artery plaque, and carotid stenosis can reflect …

Inflammation and angiogenesis play major roles in carotid plaque vulnerability. The purpose
of this study was to determine whether gray-scale features of carotid plaques are associated …

OBJECTIVE This article describes the use of ultrasound measurements of physical strain
within carotid atherosclerotic plaques as a measure of instability and the potential for …

Higher local carotid artery strain has previously been shown to be a characteristic of
unstable carotid plaques. These plaques may be characterized by microvascular changes …

OBJECTIVE To explore the hypothesis that carotid endarterectomy (CEA) by removing an
unstable plaque may slow the course of vascular cognitive decline in both symptomatic and …

Native American individuals are more frequently affected by cerebrovascular diseases
including stroke and vascular cognitive decline. The aim of this study was to determine …

Background: The prevalence of cognitive impairment is growing and higher in rural areas.
The association between carotid plaque and cognitive impairment remains uncertain, and …

Objectives Traditional Doppler measures have been used to predict cognitive performance
in patients with carotid atherosclerosis. Novel measures, such as carotid plaque strain …
