Is high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasonography better for prediction of clinical events induced by carotid vulnerable lesions?
High-resolution MRI may be a better way than US in predicting the clinical events caused by carotid vulnerable lesions.
The results suggest the following model in black males: increased aldosterone leads to increased sodium retention, causing a volume-mediated increase in blood pressure; increased blood pressure results in increased left ventricular mass, and eventually LVH.
