Popis: The main cause of ischemic stroke is the atherosclerotic lesions of the carotid arteries. Unlike other arteries, carotid arteries have unique anatomical structure and hemodynamic characteristics, which are significantly related to the occurrence of atherosclerosis. Thus, a proper understanding of the functional anatomy, local hemodynamics of the carotid arteries and their relationship with the atherosclerotic process can improve the quality of early diagnosis and treatment of carotid artery stenosis, which, in turn, will reduce the risk of developing of the ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.
