Echogenicity of carotid plaques as a predictor of regression following lipid-lowering therapy
Carotid plaque echogenicity is strongly associated with the likelihood plaque regression, with hypoechoic plaques exhibiting higher regression rates and greater reductions in plaque size. These findings may help guide personalized treatment strategies and improve risk assessment.
