Correlation between morphological and biomechanical features and carotid atherosclerosis

The main cause of ischemic stroke is the atherosclerotic lesions carotid arteries. Unlike other arteries, arteries have unique anatomical structure and hemodynamic characteristics, which are significantly related to occurrence atherosclerosis.
 Thus, a proper understanding functional anatomy, local hemodynamics their relationship with process can improve quality early diagnosis treatment artery stenosis, which, in turn, will reduce risk developing cerebrovascular diseases.
