Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that is responsible for most cardiovascular events and stroke. Therefore, a regular exam for carotid is necessary for the elder. Stork IMT measurement can quickly provide 13 parameters and 34 indicators.
Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease, divided into ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. It is the first cause of death and disability in China. According to the China Stroke Prevention and Treatment Report in 2018, the standardized prevalence of stroke among people aged 40 and over increased from 1.89% in 2012 to 2.19% in 2016, and this is the calculation of stroke patients in people aged 40 and over in my country. It reached 12.42 million, and the number of patients who died of stroke each year reached 1.96 million nationwide. This is also the same situation in foreign countries.
Stork has participated in many medical and scientific research projects in large hospitals in China. Among them, the cooperation project with South China Hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan Province is mainly to collect the cervical vascular parameters of normal people and cardiovascular disease patients through handheld ultrasound, including peak systolic flow velocity, end-diastolic blood flow velocity, pulsatility index, and resistance index, etc. There are 13 groups of hemodynamic-related clinical indicators, and the handheld ultrasound machine automatically calculates and obtains the average value of 13 groups of hemodynamic parameters in real-time.
