Carotid artery ultrasound is a diagnostic procedure that looks at how well your blood is flowing through the carotid arteries in your neck. You have two carotid arteries, one either side of your neck, that deliver freshly oxygenated blood from your heart to your brain. Blockages in the carotid arteries can lead to stroke, which could be disabling or sometimes fatal. A carotid artery ultrasound uses sound waves to test for narrowing or blockages in the arteries that could increase your risk of having a stroke.

A chronic disease is one that lasts for an extended period, which is usually more than three months but very often can be lifelong. Many types of chronic disease are incurable, but if patients and their health care providers manage these conditions carefully, it's very often possible to live a long and rewarding life.
