Carotid artery anatomy and geometry as risk factors for carotid atherosclerotic disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Traditional vascular risk factors do not completely explain the asymmetry, racial, and sex differences in carotid artery disease. Carotid anatomy and geometry may play a role in the pathogenesis of internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis, but their effects are unknown. We hypothesized that carotid artery anatomy and geometry would be independently associated with ICA steno...

متن کاملHemodynamics of carotid artery atherosclerotic occlusive disease.
Hemodynamic mechanisms for the initiation and progression of carotid bifurcation atherosclerotic occlusive disease have been extensively researched during the past few decades. Attention has focused on the carotid bulb, or sinus, where most atherosclerotic plaques are found. Herein, the authors review the seminal works that have led to an understanding of not only complex local hemodynamics but...
متن کاملPathology of carotid artery atherosclerotic disease
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for 600 000 cases each year, of which about 500 000 are first attacks (American Heart Association, 2001; Heart and Stroke Statistical Update. Dallas, TX, 2001). The pathologic events leading to stroke are complex, and involve atherosclerosis of the aorta and its branches, especially the carotid artery, obstruction of bl...
متن کاملRisk factors for extracranial carotid artery atherosclerosis.
We related risk factors, cardiovascular symptoms, and coronary status to the extent of extracranial carotid atherosclerosis as measured by B-mode ultrasonography in 376 volunteers hospitalized for elective coronary angiography. In a first analysis, we correlated risk factors and cardiovascular symptoms with carotid atherosclerosis. Univariate analysis showed that relations between many continuo...
