Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carotid angiography is the appropriate choice to detect increased risk for stroke since it provides visualization of the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. The presence of plaque or narrowing in these arteries can increase the risk of stroke. Abdominal, adrenal, and coronary angiography are not typically used to assess stroke risk.
