D012913	Snoring	Rough, noisy breathing during sleep, due to vibration of the uvula and soft palate.	Snorings
D016893	Carotid Stenosis	Narrowing or stricture of any part of the CAROTID ARTERIES, most often due to atherosclerotic plaque formation. Ulcerations may form in atherosclerotic plaques and induce THROMBUS formation. Platelet or cholesterol emboli may arise from stenotic carotid lesions and induce a TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK; CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT; or temporary blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX).

D059168	Carotid Intima-Media Thickness	A measurement of the thickness of the carotid artery walls. It is measured by B-mode ULTRASONOGRAPHY and is used as a surrogate marker for ATHEROSCLEROSIS.	Carotid Intima Media Thickness,Intima-Media Thickness, Carotid
D018617	Ultrasonography, Doppler, Pulsed	Ultrasonography applying the Doppler effect, with velocity detection combined with range discrimination. Short bursts of ultrasound are transmitted at regular intervals and the echoes are demodulated as they return.
