Association of Beta Blockers and Calcium Channel Blockers with Arrhythmia After Carotid Intervention
Postoperative arrhythmia has a reported incidence of 2% to 4%, which can increase patients ’ risk of developing stroke or myocardial infarction; however, insufficient data are available regarding the prognostic implications and management of arrhythmia after carotid intervention. The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with arrhythmia after carotid intervention usin g data collected as a part of the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative.

3D Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization for Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis
Carotid plaque histology has confirmed that intraplaque hemorrhage and enlarging lipid-cores are important determinants of plaque rupture and stroke. Noninvasive characterization of these features may identify individuals at risk for stroke. Two-dimensional (2D) longitudinal-sectional ultrasound images have been used to predict plaque histology, but a single slice provides limited information. Tissue-characterization from 3D ultrasound imaging may offer more comprehensive information. We developed a clinical 3D ultrasound protocol to quantify plaque composition (hemorrhage, lipid, calcium and fibromuscular tissue), measure...
