What is the type of turbulent flow of blood that can be heard in the neck?
Atherosclerosis can cause turbulent blood flow in the carotid arteries, which can be heard as a bruit in the neck. This sound is caused by the narrowing of the artery due to plaque buildup, leading to disrupted blood flow. It is important to monitor and manage atherosclerosis to prevent complications such as stroke.
Why is a carotid endartectomy performed?

When finding the carotid artery you are looking to check what?
When finding the carotid artery, you are typically checking for the pulse to assess heart rate and rhythm.

Additionally, palpating the carotid artery can help identify any abnormalities, such as atherosclerosis or other vascular issues.
Does post polio syndrome cause low hemoglobin and dementia?

Can atherosclerosis lead to a stroke?
Majority of the time it's the opposite way around. Atherosclerosis may cause strokes and heart attacks. Atherosclerosis by definition is hardening of the arteries. Blood clots, which cause strokes and heart attacks, can become stuck in the arteries due to the hardening and plaque build up. I do not believe cardiovascular disease causes or is caused by atherosclerosis.
