Study Summary

This is an open-label, non-randomized study conducted at Thomas Jefferson University comparing pressure-gradient estimates (obtained between a carotid plaque and the carotid artery) to imaging and histology markers of plaque vulnerability. There is an inverse relationship between the subharmonic signal magnitude from contrast-enhanced ultrasound microbubbles and ambient pressure. This pressure estimation technique (referred as SHAPE) will be used to estimate the pressure gradient across the carotid plaque cap noninvasively in vivo.
