Geometry of the Carotid Artery and Its Association With Pathologic Changes in a Chinese Population

Geometry of the Carotid Artery and Its Association With Pathologic Changes in a Chinese Population

ObjectivesCarotid artery geometry influences blood flow disturbances and is thus an important risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis. Extracellular matrix (ECM) and yes-associated protein (YAP) expression may play essential roles in the pathophysiology of carotid artery stenosis, but the effect of...
