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 ...

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?

High-Resolution MRI of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease [PDF]
Neurointervention, 2014 Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) causes up to 10% of all ischemic strokes, and the rate of recurrent vascular ischemic events is very high. Important predictors of vulnerability in atherosclerotic plaques include the degree of stenosis and the

Scientific Reports, 2023 Extracellular vesicles (EV) are a novel biomarker source for diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular disease. A protein comparison of plasma EVs in relation to blood plasma and atherosclerotic plaque has not been performed but would provide insight ...

Myeloid cell-specific Irf5 deficiency stabilizes atherosclerotic plaques in Apoe–/– mice
Molecular Metabolism, 2021 Objective: Interferon regulatory factor (IRF) 5 is a transcription factor known for promoting M1 type macrophage polarization in vitro. Given the central role of inflammatory macrophages in promoting atherosclerotic plaque progression, we hypothesize ...

Regulation of atherosclerotic plaque inflammation [PDF]
Journal of Internal Medicine, 2015 AbstractThe immune reactions that regulate atherosclerotic plaque inflammation involve chemokines, lipid mediators and costimulatory molecules. Chemokines are a family of chemotactic cytokines that mediate immune cell recruitment and control cell homeostasis and activation of different immune cell types and subsets.

Vulnerable Plaque, Characteristics, Detection, and Potential Therapies
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2019 Plaque development and rupture are hallmarks of atherosclerotic vascular disease. Despite current therapeutic developments, there is an unmet necessity in the prevention of atherosclerotic vascular disease. It remains a challenge to determine at an early
