Summary
Carotid plaques
• Screening with US for carotid plaque or CIMT uncovers cardiovascular risk in young to middle-aged patients with a low Framingham risk score (FRS).
• Carotid US proved better than coronary artery calcium (CAC) score via CT to predict risk
2 studies in the August issue of the Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography.

Carotid plaques
• Measurement error/variabilityPSV = 125 = 100-150 cm/s
EDV = 100 = 80-120 cm/s

Carotid plaques
• Kinks, tortuosities• Long plaques• Contralateral occlusion• Critical stenosis: low velocity

Carotid plaques
You should see how bad and turbulent that carotid stenosis was !

Carotid plaques
You should see how tight and how ugly that carotid plaque was !
US imaging
Carotid plaques
• US > 80% diameter stenosisXR NASCET > 70%
• US < 50% diameter stenosisXR < 50%
• US 50-70% diameter stenosisDo what you want to do

US plaque characterization
Carotid plaques
• Methods • Present results
US plaque characterization
Carotid plaques
• Heterogeneous plaques had higher incidence of late
strokes, TIA and progression than homogeneous
plaques in patients with 60% to 69% carotid stenosis
J Vasc Surg 2002; 36:437
US plaque characterization
Carotid plaques
• Stroke rate in asymptomatic patients, 65 years or
older, with internal carotid stenosis greater than 50%
(PSV >150 cm/sec)
– Hypoechoic plaque: 5 % per year
– Hyperechoic plaque: < 2 % per year
Cardiovascular Health Study
Radiology 1998; 208:649
US plaque characterization
Carotid plaques
• Symptomatic plaques are more hypoechoic than
asymptomatic plaques
J Vasc Surg 2000; 31:39
US plaque characterization
Carotid plaques
• Hypoechoic plaque, not degree of stenosis,
predicted presence of non-lacunar silent
CT-brain infarcts (GSM=11)

Carotid plaques
• Grayscale: blood-adventitia: 0-190
• Red: hemorrhage: 0-4
• Yellow: lipid: 8-26
• Green: muscle: 41-76
• Green: fibrous tissue: 112-196
