摘要: 动脉粥样硬化是一种慢性进展性疾病，主要累及大中型动脉，是心脑血管疾病的重要病理基础，其早期评估对预防心肌梗死、脑卒中等严重并发症至关重要。近年来，血管超声由于其无创、实时、便捷和可重复等优点受到广泛关注，在动脉粥样硬化病变的评估中取得了显著进展。本文结合国内外超声评估动脉粥样硬化性病变的最新研究，探讨了超声在动脉粥样硬化病变中的潜在应用价值，为临床实践和未来研究方向提供参考依据。
Abstract: Atherosclerosis is a chronic progressive disease, which mainly involves large and medium-sized arteries. It is an important pathological basis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and its early evaluation is very important to prevent serious complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke. In recent years, vascular ultrasound has been widely concerned because of its advantages of non-invasive, real-time, convenient and repeatable, and has made remarkable progress in the evaluation of atherosclerotic lesions. This paper discusses the potential application value of ultrasound in atherosclerotic lesions based on the latest research of ultrasound evaluation at home and abroad, and provides reference for clinical practice and future research direction.
