Significance of EEG changes at carotid endarterectomy.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Ultrasound of carotid arteries provides measures of intima media thickness (IMT) and plaque, both widely used as surrogate measures of cardiovascular disease. Although IMT and plaques are highly intercorrelated, the relationship between carotid plaque and IMT and cardiovascular disease has been c...
