Fibrous cap state in carotid atherosclerotic plaque: Ultrasound diagnostic capabilities and implication for ischemic stroke risk stratification
Objective. To systematize the ultrasound features of various fibrous cap (FC) states of carotid atherosclerotic plaques that determine the risk of ischemic stroke, based on an analysis of the morphological changes in its surface that occur during plaque destabilization. Content. This manuscript summarizes data...
