COURSE INFO:
Why do I need this course?
Carotid Duplex ultrasonography plays a key role in the management of patients with acute stroke, chronic cerebrovascular disease and patients with cardiovascular diseases. Carotid ultrasound is employed in primary prevention to stratify patients cardio and cerebrovascular risk. In patients after stroke or transit ischemic attack, carotid ultrasound helps to establish the aetiology of the current condition.

What questions does this course answer?
How do I measure intima media thickness? How do I identify and characterise atherosclerotic plaques of the carotid arteries? How do I correctly measure velocities within the carotid arteries? How do I grade a stenosis of the internal carotid artery? How do I identify Subclavian Steal Syndrome (SSS)?

Aim of the course
This Master course on Carotid and Vertebral Arteries will give you a comprehensive understanding on how to identify and quantify disease of the carotid and vertebral arteries.
