The Use of Multisite High Resolution Arterial Imaging to Assess Arteriosclerosis
Cardiovascular Wellness Center 1600 Stewart Avenue Westbury, NY 11590 This article presents a model for the use of multisite, sonographic imaging to assess arte riosclerosis. The arteries of 100 randomly selected patients were scanned in three anatomical areas (carotid, femoral-popliteal, aorta-iliac) in conjunction with measure ment of selected risk factors (smoking, cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipopro teins, antioxidant levels). Arteries were interrogated for intimal wall hyperplasia, plaque, and ulceration. Multisite scanning (24 sites) detected the presence of pathology in all sites surveyed. The model was developed at The Cardiovascular Wellness Center in Westbury, NY.
