DOI: 10.1002/jum.15311
Abstract: Traditional Doppler measures have been used to predict cognitive performance in patients with carotid atherosclerosis. Novel measures, such as carotid plaque strain indices (CPSIs), have shown associations with cognitive performance. We hypothesized that lower mean… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40520-019-01415-z
Abstract: This study aimed at examining whether ankle–brachial index (ABI) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) were independently associated with carotid Intima-media thickness (CIMT) or carotid artery plaque (CAP) in elderly people. A cross-sectional analysis was… read more here.
