Improving Prevention of Stroke and Other Arterial Disease Complications by Closing Evidence-Practice Gaps

在颈动脉狭窄（脑主干动脉狭窄）的治疗上存在一个主要的证据与实践差距。全球每年有数十亿美元被浪费在不必要的颈动脉手术上。这个不合适的行业是由所有确定的指导方针驱动的。我将带领专家创建世界上第一个颈动脉狭窄的“循证”指南，并确定如何最好地预防这些和其他患者的动脉疾病并发症，仅使用生活方式指导和药物治疗。

There is a major evidence-practice gap in the management of carotid stenosis (main brain artery narrowing). Globally many billions of dollars are wasted annually on unnecessary carotid procedures. This inappropriate industry is driven by all identified guidelines. I will lead experts in creating the world’s first ‘evidence-true’ guideline for carotid stenosis and determine how to best prevent arterial disease complications in these and other patients using only lifestyle coaching and medication.
