文档介绍：Carotid Disease
The Role of Imaging in Diagnosis and
Management
Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality,
with carotid disease representing an important
contributory risk factor. This book is pre-
hensive review of the pathogenesis and manage-
ment of carotid disease with specific focus on the
role imaging has to play in the early recognition
of symptomatic and asymptomatic disease as
well as the treatment of the developed condition.
Technological advances in imaging modalities
now allow detailed analysis of the disease progres-
sion, the prediction of critical events leading to
a stroke, as well as the identification of the most
effective surgical or other interventional treat-
ments. This book should be read by neurologists,
cardiologists, vascular surgeons, neurosurgeons
and radiologists involved in the care of patients
with carotid disease, and also by researchers
involved in the development of new diagnostic
and therapeutic techniques and drugs.
