Overview
Echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis and its complications. Findings on an echocardiography suggestive of Takayasu's arteritis include aortic regurgitation. Doppler ultrasound is a useful non-invasive procedure for the assessment of vessel wall inflammation in patients with Takayasu's arteritis. Ultrasonography is limited by operator-dependent artefacts from overlying structures and bowel gas. In Takayasu's arteritis, ultrasound can be helpful in detecting sub-millimeter changes in wall thickness of the carotid arteries.
Echocardiography
- Echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis and its complications. Findings on an echocardiography suggestive of Takayasu's arteritis include:
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be used in the patients with Takayasu's arteritis to:[1][2][3][4]
- Assessment of vessel wall inflammation
- Detect sub-millimeter changes in wall thickness of the carotid arteries
- Monitor disease progression
- Check therapy
- Detect complications
- Reduce the need for interval angiographic follow-up
- Differentiate Takayasu's arteritis from atherosclerotic disease based on:
- Minimal plaque content
- Concentric and long segmental involvement
- Location of lesion
- Ultrasonography is limited by operator-dependent artefacts from overlying structures and bowel gas.
