About the Evaluación de la Placa Aterosclerótica Carotídea
Objectivo del curso
La evaluación de la placa aterosclerótica carotídea ha sido concebida para proporcionar una visión global de los principales criterios ecográficos utilizados para describir una placa aterosclerótica carotídea, detectar las placas vulnerables y estables, así como identificar a los pacientes con mayor riesgo de sufrir accidentes cerebrovasculares.
Contenido del curso
Este curso se compone de unas diapositivas con los casos prácticos comentados de estenosis de la arteria carótida interna. Incluye todos los criterios ecográficos disponibles para el análisis en 2D de las placas y los aspectos morfológicos y hemodinámicos que influyen en el riesgo de ictus. El curso contiene una galería de imágenes que muestran diferentes tipos de placas, así como una serie de vídeos que ilustran el impacto hemodinámico de las placas carotídeas de la arteria carótida interna.
Al final de este curso se adquirirán los conocimientos necesarios para describir las características ecográficas de las placas carotídeas.
How is the course structured?
The course is made of e-booklets supported by hands-on commented video cases and image case library showing different types of carotid plaques, ranging from simple homogeneous echogenic plaques to “vulnerable” plaques showing surface ulceration, plaque rupture, thrombosis and carotid occlusion.
The content of the course is continuously implemented and updated.
What will I get at the end of this course?
At the end of this course, the ultrasound practitioner will have acquired enough knowledge on how to characterise carotid atherosclerotic plaques using ultrasound.
Learn carotid plaques ultrasound imaging assessment with ABC online courses. At the end of the course an European certificate of accreditation and 4 CME AMA PRA credits will be released to the learner after successfully passing multiple quizzes.

Why this course?
Ultrasound imaging is a safe, non-invasive first level examination used to describe features of carotid atherosclerotic plaques of the carotid arteries. Sonographic plaque characteristics are considered to be predictive of subsequent cerebral ischemic events.
Carotid ultrasound allows to determine several traits of carotid plaques namely echogenicity, characteristics of the surface and more generally morphology. All these features provide clues to differentiate a so defined “vulnerable” from a “non-vulnerable” carotid plaque, thus helping in patients risk stratification and management. Indeed, vulnerable carotid plaques are more prone to cause cerebral embolic events regardless of degree of stenosis and a high proportion of resulting strokes are likely due to rupture or erosion of unstable plaques irrespective of the degree of stenosis.
