1 The role of carotid plaque echogenicity in baroreflex sensitivity
Nikolaos S. Tsekouras, MD, Athanasios Katsargyris, MD, Ioanna Skrapari, MD, Effie E. Bastounis, MSc, Sotirios Georgopoulos, MD, Chris Klonaris, MD, Chris Bakoyiannis, MD, Elias A.

2 Fig 1 Schematic diagram demonstrating the noninvasive process of obtaining spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (sBRS). Simultaneous recording of systolic arterial pressure via a radial tonometer and electrocardiogram (ECG) RR intervals and subsequent data process through a computerized standardized system. RR represents the interval between the peaks of two subsequent QRS complexes in an ECG.

3 Fig 2 Box plots and whiskers showing graphically a statistically significant reduction in spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (sBRS) of echogenic plaques compared with echolucent ones after controlling for differences in diabetes mellitus and symptomatic plaques.

4 Fig 3 Carotid color duplex ultrasound matched with the respective spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (sBRS) report of (A) a predominantly echolucent (type 2) and (B) a predominantly echogenic (type 3) carotid plaque. Note the different sBRS values in the red outlined boxes (5.32 vs 1.76 ms/mm Hg for echolucent and echogenic plaque, respectively).
