The aim of this study was to explore changes in the common carotid arterial wall elasticity after smoking cessation. Carotid artery ultrasonographic examination was performed in 136 patients, then 1 or 2 years after smoking cessation. We used echo‐tracking (ET) to measure stiffness index (β), pressure‐strain elasticity modulus (Ep), arterial compliance (AC), augmentation index (AI), and local pulse...
Objective.Exploring the use of echo‐tracking (ET) for evaluating changes in carotid artery wall elasticity after smoking cessation.
Methods.Carotid artery ultrasound examination was performed in 67 male patients before and after smoking cessation treatment, for measurement of intimal media thickness (IMT), and ET measurement of wall elasticity variables, ie, wall stiffness index (β), pressure‐strain...
