Carotid geometry is independently associated with complicated carotid artery plaques
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 IntroductionComplicated carotid artery plaques (cCAPs) are associated with an increased risk of rupture and subsequent stroke. The geometry of the carotid bifurcation determines the distribution of local hemodynamics and could thus contribute to the ...
