Preclinical Atherosclerosis by Ultrasound
In all of its diverse clinical manifestations, atherosclerosis is the most common cause of death of our time. The opportunity for a single operator to perform heart-vessels integrated investigations on a single subject being screened for suspected preclinical atherosclerosis, could open new horizons for ultrasound effectiveness in this area.

& Cardio-Renal Outcomes
The structure and function of arteries change throughout the life time. These changes, which include luminal dilation, diffuse medial and intimal thickening and increased stiffness, represent also tissue biomarkers of cardiovascular risk as they have been shown to be associated to cardiovascular events.
Early Diagnosis of Atherosclerosis
by Ultrasound
In all of its anatomical-functional and clinical expressions, atherosclerosis represents the number one trap in terms of morbidity and mortality in greater industrialized countries. F. Rigo, MD introduces the main aim of the course of June 2010 in Florence, i.e. to compare the findings from the greatest Italian experts in the field regarding coronary flow and carotid wall thickness and elasticity assessment as a new systemic atherosclerosis prevention system.
Arterial Vascular Structural and Functional
Alterations in Cardiovascular Pathology
C. Giannattasio, Prof. MD makes a clinical overview on arterial vascular structural and functional alterations in cardiovascular pathology, and analyses all clinical risks related to CV diseases.
From Endothelial Dysfunction
to Carotid Plaque: the Role of Ultrasound
C. Palombo, Prof. MD focuses on cardiovascular disease prevention, and ultrasound imaging evaluation. To be clinically and epidemiologically useful, diagnostic techniques must to be able to accurately define disease phenotypes and to quantify and monitor the pathological process. Ultrasound (US) provides direct and accurate data (such as intima-medial thickness and local arterial stiffness) regarding arterial modifications linked with ageing and atherosclerosis thereby offering a significant clinical contribution to cardiovascular risk stratification and pathology monitoring connected with age and therapeutic procedures.
Vascular Stiffness Assessment as
Atherosclerosis Index
A detailed excursus by S. Carerj, Prof. MD on the state-of-the-art Vascular stiffness study which represents a new opportunity for cardiologists in cardiovascular risk stratification. Numerous works published in these last few years have shown the prediction value of some arterial stiffness parameters, chiefly PWV, regarding cardiovascular events follow-up incidence.
Deformation Parameters as
Early Dysfunction Markers
C.M. Bussadori, MD introduces the new methods on myocardial tracking algorithms based on two-dimensional imaging. The studies on ischemic patients, or patients with other pathologies, have demonstrated how this technology can quantify systolic function by measuring Strain as well as longitudinal, radial and circumferential SR of twisting and untwisting rates, which is useful to assess the size of left ventricular torsion and detorsion.
Coronary Flow as
Early Marker of Atherosclerosis
F. Rigo, MD explains how left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) Doppler-derived coronary flow assessment could be an effective diagnostic means in the early detection of pathological coronary narrowing.
Statistic Management of an
Atherosclerosis Epidemiological Research
Statistic management plays a key role in medical research. P. Ballo, MD makes an overview on how a statistic management of an epidemiological research on atherosclerosis can be carried out.
