Abstract
This article presents a model for the use of multisite, sonographic imaging to assess arteriosclerosis. The arteries of 100 randomly selected patients were scanned in three anatomical areas (carotid, femoral-popliteal, aorta-iliac) in conjunction with measurement of selected risk factors (smoking, cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoproteins, antioxidant levels). Arteries were interrogated for intimal wall hyperplasia, plaque, and ulceration. Multisite scanning (24 sites) detected the presence of pathology in all sites surveyed. The model was developed at the Cardiovascular Wellness Center in Westbury, NY.
