Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the disease which underlies the entire spectrum of atherosclerotic vascular disease. Point-of-care clinical ultrasound is a useful tool for its detection. Current guidelines recommend the use of scales such as SCORE2 (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation 2) and SCORE2-OP (Systematic Coronary risk Evaluation 2 Older Persons) for apparently healthy individuals and those at low-intermediate risk. The guidelines recognize the role of assessing the presence of plaques via ultrasound to refine risk stratification and optimize prevention strategies. However, the method of assessing the vascular territories where plaque is present and the amount or load of plaque is not homogeneous or well protocolized. In this document, two protocols are proposed for the evaluation of vascular risk: VASUS and VASUS+, which includes the presence of ventricular hypertrophy, with the aim of standardizing clinical ultrasound in the assessment of vascular risk in clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
Revista Clínica Española published its first issue in 1940 and is the body of expression of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI).
The journal fully endorses the goals of updating knowledge and facilitating the acquisition of key developments in internal medicine applied to clinical practice. Revista Clínica Española is subject to a thorough double blind review of the received articles written in Spanish or English. Nine issues are published each year, including mostly originals, reviews and consensus documents.
