  1. What is Doppler ultrasound of the arteries?
    Doppler ultrasound (Doppler ultrasound) allows you to examine the arteries.
    The patient lies on his back.
    The doctor moves an ultrasonic probe along the patient's skin, directed to the arteries, and thus measures the speed of the blood.
    This examination allows you to measure the diameter of the arteries and examine the condition of their inner wall.

  2. Arteriography - visualization of the arteries
    A radiopaque contrast agent is injected into the arteries that need to be analyzed.
    This test is done on an empty stomach.
    Arteriography can detect arterial cholesterol deposits, as well as atherosclerosis or pulmonary embolism.

  3. #Artery #calcification, or atherosclerosis as it is also known, involves #fatty deposits accumulating on the inside of the #arteries, making it harder for #blood to pass through.

  5. Some #microbes in the #guts of humans and mice may help control the buildup of #plaque in #arteries, the leading cause of #cardiovascular disease, by gobbling up a group of inflammatory chemicals before they can circulate in the body.

  7. The #women in the study experienced more tightening of their small #peripheral #arteries (the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to other parts of the body) than men did when under #mental #stress. Not only that, but this #microvascular response to stress was also associated with adverse outcomes in women but not in men.
