Quantification of carotid artery plaque stability with multiple region of interest based ultrasound strain indices and relationship with cognition
Vulnerability and instability in carotid artery plaque has been assessed based on strain
variations using noninvasive ultrasound imaging. We previously demonstrated that carotid …

Impaired cognitive function in patients with atherosclerotic carotid stenosis and correlation with ultrasound strain measurements
INTRODUCTION: It has been postulated that up to 11 million “silent” strokes occur annually.
While these patients are without classic neurologic deficits, they may exhibit cognitive …

Carotid atherosclerotic plaque instability and cognition determined by ultrasound-measured plaque strain in asymptomatic patients with significant stenosis
OBJECTIVE This article describes the use of ultrasound measurements of physical strain
within carotid atherosclerotic plaques as a measure of instability and the potential for …

Correlation of cognitive function with ultrasound strain indices in carotid plaque
Instability in carotid vulnerable plaque can generate cerebral micro-emboli, which may be
related to both stroke and eventual cognitive abnormality. Strain imaging to detect plaque …

Classification of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with and without cognitive decline using non-invasive carotid plaque strain indices as biomarkers
Vascular cognitive decline may be caused by micro-emboli generated by carotid plaque
instability. We previously found that maximum strain indices in carotid plaque were …

Improved correlation of strain indices with cognitive dysfunction with inclusion of adventitial layer with carotid plaque
Plaque instability may lead to chronic embolization, which in turn may contribute to
progressive cognitive decline. Accumulated strain tensor indices over a cardiac cycle within …

[HTML][HTML] The relationship between carotid artery plaque stability and white matter ischemic injury
Higher local carotid artery strain has previously been shown to be a characteristic of
unstable carotid plaques. These plaques may be characterized by microvascular changes …
