| Abstract: | background Studies showed that arterial elasticity changes appear earlier than any structural changes, therefore, its accurate evaluation could be applied at early stage to prevent disease. Echo-tracking(E-tracking) technique can track the wall motion trajectory in real-time, calculate the change in vascular diameter automatically, and assessment of vascular stiffness and flexibility directly. This article aims to assess the change of elasticity of carotid artery after hormone therapy (HT) using Echo-tracki... |
