Ultrasound Method Creates A Better Image of Cardiovascular Health

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a new and more accurate way to distinguish between harmful and harmless plaque in the blood vessels by using ultrasound. This can help healthcare providers determine the risk of strokes and heart attacks, which means avoiding unnecessary surgery for many patients. People with cardiovascular diseases, and diabetics who risk developing them, can benefit from this new and accurate method.
