Download or read book Clinical Diagnosis of Atherosclerosis written by M. G. Bond and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the product of a February 1982 conference, cosponsored by the American Heart Association, the National Institutes of Health, and the Bowman Gray School of Medicine, which examined techniques for delineating quantitatively the natural history of atherosclerosis. Against the background of current pathologic and clinical knowledge of atherosclerosis, invasive and noninvasive evaluative methods now in use and under development are surveyed in depth. Correlative clinicopathologic studies of atherosclerosis pose special questions with respect to both luminal and plaque characteristics that are addressed in this volume. An old observa tion, based on the examination of arterial casts, suggested that the so-called nodose lesion of atherosclerosis may be at first flattened into the wall of a weakened, dilated artery, rather than raised into the lumen. This is now fully confirmed in vivo by ultrasonic and other imaging techniques. The morbid anatomist is challenged anew to describe lesions as they are likely to occur in vivo. To achieve closer correlation with natural conditions, perfu sion fixation of arteries under arterial pressure is becoming more widely used and has already demonstrated more valid quantita tion of the composition and configuration of lesions. While the noninvasive methods of B-mode and Doppler ultrasound are suitable only for the clinical study of superficial arteries, such as the carotid or femoral, the new and relatively noninvasive procedure of intravenous digital subtraction angio graphy can be effectively used for the examination of deep systems, such as cerebral vessels.

Download or read book Duplex Ultrasound Assessment of Carotid Arterial Atherosclerotic Disease written by Savvas Loizos and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: Ultrasound assessment of carotid disease is currently based on stenosis haemodynamic effects. The accuracy of direct stenosis measurement remains unclear, while research on atherosclerosis suggests identification of other plaque characteristics beyond size. The aim of the study is to investigate whether direct stenosis measurement and plaque ultrasound image analysis could potentially be used for more accurate diagnostic investigation. Method and material: Eighty-seven patients with cardiovascular disease had a carotid duplex ultrasound scan and velocity and B-mode measurements data were recorded for direct diameter measurement evaluation. Forty patients were scanned for quantitative plaque analysis and association of several parameters with symptoms was investigated. Results: For the degree of stenosis, ECST method indicated greater agreement among direct measurement methods with velocity criteria, however in cases of mild stenosis difference was reported. ECST method measurements showed considerably better agreement with MRA stenosis calculations compared with other methods. Intima- media grey scale level was associated with plaque echogenicity but the correlation was not significant, however there was an association with blood cholesterol levels. Percentages of plaque area with grey scale value less than 35 and 40 showed good accuracy in identifying symptomatic patients. As far as fibrous cap is concerned, a thickness less than 300 urn was well correlated with symptomatic disease, however no association was noted for its echogenicity. Conclusion: ECST direct stenosis measurement method could potentially be used for better stenosis classification in cases with inconclusive haemodynamic estimations. Quantitative plaque analysis, such as fibrous cap thickness measurement and grey level analysis, shows promising results in association with symptomatic disease and particular plaque characteristics.
