Is carotid wall shear stress measured by vector flow mapping associated with ASCVD risk stratification and CIMT in a Chinese population?
Carotid wall shear stress measured by vector flow mapping correlates with ASCVD risk and CIMT, suggesting utility for screening potential ASCVD risk.
Carotid WSS measured with the VFM technique was significantly correlated with CIMT and ASCVD risk stratification and could be used for screening and monitoring individuals with potential ASCVD risk.
Zhao et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
