Hi doctor! I went to carotid ultrasound and got the results: Right internal carotid artery narrowing <br/>26% and left common carotid stenosis <br/>17%. So the doctor asked me, is the ultrasound result of 26% stenosis of the internal carotid artery and <br/>17% of the left common carotid artery severe, doctor and how to treat it? Thank you doctor!

I have a grandmother who is over 70 years old this year, but recently, she often has high blood pressure, at 1 am, her body is hot. So the doctor asked me what is the disease in the elderly with high blood pressure with heat in the body? What medicine should I give her, doctor? I thank you.

Carotid artery stenosis is a narrowing of the large arteries on either side of the neck that carry blood to the head, face, and brain. It is usually the result of plaque buildup in the arteries, a process called atherosclerosis. Carotid artery stenosis can get worse over time and can completely block the artery, leading to a stroke.

Carotid color Doppler ultrasound and vertebral Doppler ultrasound are valuable methods in the diagnosis and treatment of circulatory system diseases and some other related diseases. However, there are still many limitations and certain pitfalls when using these techniques, which can lead to incorrect diagnosis and treatment indications.

Carotid ultrasound of the neck is a widely used method to detect early atherosclerotic plaques that cause carotid artery stenosis and aneurysms. This method helps predict the risk of stroke effectively.

Carotid artery dissection is common in young people; the disease has similar signs and symptoms to other diseases, so it is difficult to diagnose the disease when the patient first comes to the clinic. Therefore, accurate diagnosis of the disease plays an important role in helping patients reduce the mortality rate and sequelae caused by the disease.

One of the dangerous causes of cerebrovascular accident today is internal carotid artery stenosis, which causes blood flow to the brain to be blocked and has a high risk of causing death for the patient. To treat carotid artery stenosis to prevent the risk of stroke, carotid artery ultrasound is considered a great support tool for the assessment and placement of carotid artery stents in these patients.
