Imaging atherosclerotic plaque inflammation [PDF]

Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008
Inflammation within atherosclerotic plaques is one of the main drivers of atherosclerotic plaque rupture, which frequently leads to clinical events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Current gold standard techniques such as X-ray angiography and ultrasound can rapidly report on luminal encroachment but give no readout on inflammatory state of ...

Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaque [PDF]

Circulation, 2003
The recent proliferation of invasive and noninvasive techniques to locate vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques raises important questions. Will such techniques add useful prognostic information? If so, will the information prevent myocardial infarction, stroke, or death in at least some patients at risk? Will it lead to new research advances?

Exploiting macrophage autophagy-lysosomal biogenesis as a therapy for atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2017
Macrophages specialize in removing lipids and debris present in the atherosclerotic plaque. However, plaque progression renders macrophages unable to degrade exogenous atherogenic material and endogenous cargo including dysfunctional proteins and ...

Characteristics and evaluation of atherosclerotic plaques: an overview of state-of-the-art techniques

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
Atherosclerosis is an important cause of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lipid infiltration, inflammation, and altered vascular stress are the critical mechanisms that cause atherosclerotic plaque formation.

Orthopedic surgery increases atherosclerotic lesions and necrotic core area in ApoE-/- mice [PDF]

, 2016
Background and aims Observational studies show a peak incidence of cardiovascular events after major surgery. For example, the risk of myocardial infarction increases 25-fold early after hip replacement.

Atherosclerosis and Atheroma Plaque Rupture: Imaging Modalities in the Visualization of Vasa Vasorum and Atherosclerotic Plaques

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Invasive angiography has been widely accepted as the gold standard to diagnose cardiovascular pathologies. Despite its superior resolution of demonstrating atherosclerotic plaque in terms of degree of lumen stenosis, the morphological assessment for the ...

Oral glucose tolerance test predicts increased carotid plaque burden in patients with acute coronary syndrome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes are established risk factors for atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the atherosclerotic plaque burden in the carotid arteries of patients with acute coronary syndrome according to their glycemic status ...
