Carotid wall stress calculated with continuous intima-media thickness assessment using B-mode ultrasound

Cardiovascular risk is normally assessed using clinical risk factors but it can be refined using non-invasive infra-clinical markers. Intima-Media Thickness (IMT) is recognized as an early indicator of cardiovascular disease. Carotid Wall Stress (CWS) can be calculated using arterial pressure and ca...

We conclude that maximum CWS is highly dependent on wall thickness and accurate IMT measures during systole should be encouraged.
