pressure
Diabete

2. Term used to
Lack of exercise

Family history of coronary artery disease or
atherosclerotic le-
any of the above risk factors
sion in an artery:
Platelets
Fibrin
Lipids
Calcium
3. Plaque causes
Occurs more commonly where vessels
cere- brovascular
bifurcate (disturbed flow/ flow seperation).
symp- toms in
two Restricting flow
ways: By generating emboli from ulcerative
plaque (has a scooped-out appearance).

6. Heterogenous mixed (ditterent)echo echo patterns. Some anechoic and
echogenic
properties (hypo and hyper)
7. Calcified Hyperechoic. Acoustic shadowing inferior to plaque.
8. Three Types of Plaque: Calcified
Heterogenous
Soft/homogenous
Sonographically, it will be revealed by an increase in the thickness of
the intima and media of the vessel (intimal thickening )
Also, you can usually visualize echogenic material that will protrude
into the lumen of the artery.
9. How does continuous and
Soft/Ho- shows no
mogenous irregularities
Appears on an
ultrasound?
Echogenic plaque
10. How does with small areas of
Heteroge- neous calcium
(mixed) appear on
an ultrasound?

pear on an ultrasound
? Prevents ultrasound from passing through
the plaque, or prevents the weaker echo
from returning.
