Abstract:
Carotid atherosclerosis is closely associated with ischemic stroke. Research shows that the rupture of vulnerable carotid plaque is an important reason for carotid atherosclerosis leading to thromboembolic events. Therefore, early identification of vulnerable carotid plaques is of great significance for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of ischemic stroke. This article reviews the pathophysiological features, imaging evaluation of carotid plaque and its relationship with ischemic stroke.
