The health care instrument can perform prevention monitoring and follow-up work on high risk people, and is an important measure for reducing the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, most patients and society have insufficient understanding on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases at present, and especially the basic patients have insufficient understanding on self health knowledge, harm to diseases and importance of long-term treatment. Therefore, the self-examination of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is essential for the general public.
Carotid ultrasound examination is one of the effective means to assess carotid vascular lesions. Plays a key role in the epidemiological investigation of atherosclerosis and the evaluation of effectiveness of preventive and therapeutic trials on carotid atherosclerosis. The carotid artery ultrasonic examination can clearly help to observe detailed conditions such as whether the intima-media of the blood vessel is thickened, whether plaque is formed, the position and the size of the plaque, whether the blood vessel is narrowed, the degree of the narrowing and the like. Particularly, whether the carotid artery is hardened or not can be detected in an early stage, so that the patient can be prevented and treated in time. At present, with the continuous popularization of related knowledge of cardiovascular diseases, the periodic carotid artery examination becomes the first task for diagnosis and protection of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The carotid artery ultrasonic technology has the advantages of no wound, rapidness, strong repeatability, no radiation and the like, and through ultrasonic examination, a doctor can see the condition of carotid artery plaque in advance, diagnose in advance and treat as early as possible, thereby bringing great help for the treatment of diseases.
