First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests a new way to grade carotid plaques using ultrasound, called Plaque-RADS, to see if it can predict stroke risk better than current methods. Researchers will collect data from 855 people with asymptomatic carotid plaques and build a risk model. The goal is to identify high-risk patients earlier so they can get treatment to prevent strokes and reduce disability.
