Atherosclerotic plaque development
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2009Atherosclerosis is now recognized as an inflammatory/immunomodulatory reaction to the presence of oxidized low-density lipoproteins within the arterial wall, often times in the setting of such risk factors as family history, hypercholesterolemia, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and smoking.

Imaging of atherosclerotic plaque
The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2004The behavior and composition of coronary atherosclerotic plaques are ultimately responsible for the threat of acute ischemic events in patients with coronary artery disease. Different imaging modalities have been developed over the last several years in order to better characterize the atherosclerotic plaque and attempt to predict those in peril of ...

Development of atherosclerotic plaques
Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1985ABSTRACT. Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disease. A unified model for the lesion development reveals many connections between the response‐to‐injury hypothesis and the lipid hypothesis. Various cellular uptake mechanisms for native and modified lipoproteins are discussed with respect to foam cell formation and lesion development.

Investigation of Atherosclerotic Plaque Vulnerability
2022Histochemical and immunohistochemical approaches permit the detection and evaluation of proteins and cell types within murine brachiocephalic artery atherosclerotic plaques, that can be subsequently analyzed to provide inferences on atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability.

MR imaging of atherosclerotic plaque
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2002MRI is a powerful noninvasive imaging tool with high spatial resolution that continues to prove its value in determining atherosclerotic plaque size, volume, and tissue components. Multispectral MRI sequences have been validated to characterize atherosclerotic plaque components in animals; they have recently been applied to human aorta and carotid ...

Is regression of atherosclerotic plaque possible?
Clínica e Investigación en Arteriosclerosis (English Edition), 2017As it is well-known, a thrombus evolving into a disrupted/eroded atherosclerotic plaque causes most acute coronary syndromes. Plaque stabilization via reduction of the lipid core and/or thickening of the fibrous cap is one of the possible mechanisms accounted for the clinical benefits displayed by different anti-atherosclerotic strategies.

2009
Even though coronary, cerebral, and peripheral arterial disease represents the most common features of atherosclerosis, it progresses in the absence of any symptoms for most of its developmental course. Generally, the severity of a coronary stenosis is of poor predictive value for cardiac events such as sudden death, myocardial infarction, or unstable ...

Apoptosis in human atherosclerotic plaques
Apoptosis, 1999Intimal cell death has been a recognized feature of advanced atherosclerotic disease. With the advent of DNA in situ end labelling and/or ultrastructural techniques, recent findings suggest that cells of an atheroma undergo programmed cell death or apoptosis. The pathophysiologic relevance of apoptosis in atherosclerotic disease is debatable. Apoptotic

Impact of Statins on Atherosclerotic Plaque
Future Cardiology, 2007Lowering levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol with inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (statins) has a profound impact on cardiovascular event rates. The degree of benefit is proportional to the extent of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering achieved. In addition to lowering levels of atherogenic lipids, statins
