Pulse Wave Imaging in Carotid Artery Stenosis Human Patients in Vivo

In this study, pulse wave imaging was applied in 111 (n  = 11, N = 13 plaques) patients diagnosed with moderate (>50%) to severe (>80%) carotid artery stenosis to investigate the feasibility of characterizing plaque properties based on the pulse wave-induced arterial wall dynamics captured by pulse wave imaging.
