Clinicians should consider multifocal influences on waveforms to avoid misinterpretation; leaves open need for validated diagnostic criteria.
Recognizing abnormal spectral Doppler ultrasound waveforms in carotid and vertebral arteries is important for proper management of local lesions and cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease.
Ginat et al. (2011) conducted a review in Cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease. Carotid and vertebral artery spectral Doppler ultrasound was evaluated. Carotid and vertebral artery spectral Doppler ultrasound waveforms can be affected by local lesions, proximal cardiovascular disease, devices, and distal cerebrovascular disease.
