I got my result back from my coratid ultrasound. Can someone please help me interpret what it means and if I'm in any danger of a stroke?

Common Carotid Artery - Right Velocity 1.22 m/sec , Left Velocity 1.14 m/sec

Internal Carotid Artery - Right Velocity 0.75 m/sec , Left Velocity 0.96 m/sec

External Carotid Artery - Right Velocity 0.93 m/sec , Left Velocity 0.97 m/sec

ICA/CCA RATIO - Right Velocity 0.61 m/sec , Left Velocity 0.84 m/sec

Findings : There is no significant intimal wall thickening , plaque formation or stenosis. There is increased peak systolic velocity in the right common carotid artery , consistent with high resistance flow, tortuosity, artifact and/or mild stenosis. There is normal ante grade flow in the bilateral vertebral arteries.

CONCLUSION:
1. Increased peak systolic velocity, right common artery, consistent with high resistance flow, tortuosity, artifact and/or
mild stenosis.

2. No hemodynamically significant abnormalities were observed.

I am worried about the increased systolic velocity that was found. And I'm wondering how bad it is since I am not sure what the normal ranges are. It says no significant stenosis was found, yet it also says that stenosis could be causing the increase number.

Please if anyone out there is an ultrasound technician or can read my report to let me know if I should be worried or if my results fall under the normal range. I had this test done because of headaches and neck pain. Im 32 female, slim build.

Your results aren't normal, but they also don;t indicate a serious problem. In your case you can use the left side measurements as a rough baseline for comparison. The right side should be slightly lower than the left, which you can see for all values except the right common carotid.



Velocity increases where there is flow resistance from a partial obstruction or constriction - like the way water in a hose shoots out faster through a narrow nozzle. It looks like the ultrasound didn't show any visible narrowing, but some type of narrowing or source of increased flow resistance in the R common carotid artery can be inferred due to the increased velocity.



Its not a situation that necessarily needs any treatment, but this might depend on the cause of the higher velocity, which apparently might not be known at this time. Maybe the doc will need a closer look at the RCCA with different diagnostics or maybe the doc will recommend monitoring the artery to see if the situation is stable.



Without additional info, its hard to say if this finding is related to the headache problems, but your doc should have a pretty good if it is or isn't. I would guess (and it is literally a guess) that the RCCA poses no threat at this time.

Your Doctor will review the results with you, The person who did the Ultrasound Could Tell you as well But Does NOT because They are Not Your Doctor.... You need to speak with your Physician or Cardiologist 1st because they Know You and your history We do NOT

Help. I'm scared about my carotid ultrasound results. Can someone please help me interpret.? If you cross your head (back of the head, front of the head, right temple, left temple), then the headache will go away. Plus blood is purified. To make upright perpendicular cross: using your right hand in the following way (picture below) cross yourself: touch firmly your forehead and say "In the name of the Father", touch firmly 1cm-2cm above belly button and say "and of the Son", touch firmly right shoulder (where 3 bones meet) and say "and of the Holy", touch firmly left shoulder (where 3 bones meet) and say "Spirit". Hand down: "Amen." Feet together.



According to Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov, vodka dries one's brains. Smoking is censer for the devil. People who use drugs see demons who cleverly disguise themselves as aliens. Vaccines, IVs, tooth fillings, cosmetics, certain foods and drinks, medicaments, etc. contain nanochips and/or cells of aborted fetuses; intake of which leads to demon possession. If a dog is present in house or church, then the Holy Spirit will leave. Foul language calls upon Pagan deities (demons); Holy Spirit departs on seven meters. Blood contains sins; don't donate blood; don't accept blood transfusion yourself.



Raw celandine (juice) cures cancer in minute amounts (like eating a leaf a day for 10 days, taking a break for 10 days, repeating three times); store this raw juice in dark glass container in a fridge for up to 2 or 3 years; add only hot water if you don't want to drink it cold; collect older celandine that is at least 20 meters away from the river from morning until 3 PM. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Luck = Moloch = demon; don't wish people luck, please. Chanting mantras leads to demon possession; it's not the words that get you possessed; it's the rhythm. Meditation, hypnosis, astral projection, etc. lead to demon possession. Demons pretend to be ghosts and aliens. Barcode is Druid black magic curse. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good.



Oral, anal, masturbation, porn, fornication, adultery, fetishes, cross dressing, etc. lead to demon possession. Sionists want to be the only white people. So, they promote contraceptives (early abortion), interracial marriage, homosexuality, abortion (aborted babies go to hell for 33 and a half years and a demon is freed from hell), etc. America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Sionists want to attack Iran. So, they need an excuse, which will be the Statue of Liberty. New Sodom (New York) will be flooded after an explosion in the sea; New Gomorah (Los Angeles) will follow after. Look at what Seraphim Rose had to endure. He was a homosexual, but repented. Now, he is one the great saints of the Orthodox Church. Pray to Seraphim Rose; he'll help you. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from hell. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level.



They will get out through sinkholes and lakes. To kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Since antichrist (born to a 12th generation prostitute, flying, big-nailed, gloved, pale-faced, red-eyed, Satan-possessed since he's 12 years old, homosexual man from the tribe of Dan, who wears blue robe over left shoulder while red/pink robe is underneath just like Jesus, and is surrounded by demons but people see angels of light) is around, there is no need for disputes. 666 is not forgivable; it leads to permanent hell. 666 is given with World Passport with no name on it (grey plastic card). Police 666 people on highways. Food stores and prisoners (released by the antichrist) 666 people too. Reject vaccines. Don't go into UFO to be healed by demons. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you.



Stay away from cats because one can receive mark of the beast because of cats. Pray the Jesus prayer slowly all the time. Sleep fully clothed; also, pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Dress appropriately for your gender. Women wear non-revealing dresses and head-scarfs tied at the front; no pants and no hats for women. Men wear pants and hats (outside only, except priests). Don't get any tattoos. Reject new documents and vaccines. Ask Orthodox Christian priest to bless your house. Get rid of all Occult stuff (ouija boards, talismans, amulets, barcodes, skulls, masks, astrology books, tarot cards, etc.). To break any curse, pray slowly the Psalm "The LORD is my light and my salvation" 40 times a day for 40 straight days. That's 1600 times in total. Forgive me.
