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.

Carotid Artery Tortuosity Is Associated with Connective Tissue Diseases

American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2019
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There is a general assumption in the cerebrovascular literature that there is an association between carotid artery tortuosity and connective tissues disease; however, this has not been firmly established.

Evaluation of the Femoral Artery IMT as a Risk Factor of Cardiovascular Disease

Journal of Surgical Ultrasound, 2019
Purpose: The carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is a risk factor for atherosclerosis that can predict the association of cardiovascular disease. Despite this, there have been few studies on the femoral artery IMT.
