Introduction: Stroke ranks among the world's major causes
of mortality and disability, often linked to carotid artery atherosclerosis.
Non-invasive imaging techniques such as colour Doppler sonography provide
valuable insights into the carotid arterial system.
Objectives: To assess the carotid artery system in stroke
patients with colour Doppler sonography, with an emphasis on carotid stenosis,
plaque morphology, and intima-media thickness (IMT).
Methods: This observational research included 50
stroke patients from a tertiary care hospital. Colour Doppler sonography was
performed to measure IMT, Assess the degree of carotid stenosis and categorise
the structure of the plaque.
Results: Majority of carotid arteries had <50%
stenosis. Older age linked to greater stenosis and IMT. Color Doppler imaging
is effective for screening carotid artery disease.
