Carotid Ultrasound Study

To use carotid ultrasound to screen 20-30 patients with longstanding or resistant hypertension for carotid atherosclerotic disease and bifurcation anatomy. This will establish a screening protocol for Cibiem's eventual endovascular carotid body modulation trial and will give insight into the prevalence and specific location of carotid plaque at the bifurcation in this patient population.
