  • New Technologies to Determine Carotid Plaque Vulnerability Rochester, MN

    Hypothesis: Identification of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques (with or without neovascularization) using carotid CEUS is an independent predictor of MACE (over clinical risk factors, stress echo wall motion results, and carotid ultrasound two-dimensional speckle tracking strain indices).

    Primary Aims:

    1. Evaluate the diagnostic role of carotid CEUS and two-dimensional speckle tracking strain imaging for detection of carotid plaque:

      • To determine the feasibility and safety of Carotid CEUS and Two-dimensional speckle tracking strain imaging SE .
      • To determine if carotid CEUS and two-dimensional speckle tracking strain imaging findings are associated ...

  • New Technologies to Determine Carotid Plaque Vulnerability in Patients With Significant Carotid Plaques Rochester, MN

    The researchers are trying to determine if the characterization of "vulnerable" carotid artery plaques can be accomplished with ultrasound-based methods that look for vessels in the plaque and measure the plaque stiffness.
