Carotid Artery Disease [PDF]

Circulation, 2006
Carotid arteries are the blood vessels that deliver blood through the neck to the brain. There is one carotid artery on each side of the neck, where its pulsation can be felt with a finger below the jaw bone. Blockages in the carotid artery decrease blood flow to the brain, causing a medical condition known as carotid artery disease.

Prevalence of carotid artery disease in candidates undergoing coronary bypass graft seen at Madras Medical Mission

Sahel Medical Journal, 2013
Background: Significant carotid artery disease in candidates going for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) increases the risk of developing peri-operative neurologic events. Therefore, a pre-operative carotid Doppler ultrasonography, which is simple, non-

Study on asymptomatic carotid artery disease in high-risk population: A hospital-based study in the eastern part of India

Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, 2023
Background: Stroke is the most important cause of mortality and morbidity. Carotid artery disease is the leading cause of ischemic stroke. Carotid intima-media thickness can be used as an important tool for severity of atherosclerosis. This study revised
