Endocrinologists Test Carotid Thickening with Doppler Ultrasound

The researchers are trying to reverse carotid artery thickness by combining a cholesterol-lowering drug with Doppler ultrasound to monitor the carotid artery. Doctors think they can better identify those at risk of stroke and heart attack.
