Stabilization of atherosclerotic plaques: an update [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2013 The majority of coronary thrombi (∼75%) is caused by plaque rupture .1,2 Prototype of the rupture-prone plaque contains a large, soft, lipid-rich necrotic core with a thin and inflamed fibrous cap, so-called thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) ( Figure 1 ).3,4 Other common features include expansive remodelling, large plaque size, plaque haemorrhage ...

MicroRNAs in the Atherosclerotic Plaque [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2013 BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNA, miR) are noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by hindering translation. miRNA expression profiles have been shown to differ in vivo and in vitro in many cellular processes associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Atherosclerotic carotid plaque segmentation [PDF]
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005 Atherosclerosis is the major cause of heart attack and stroke in the western world. In this paper we present a computerized method for segmenting the athrerosclerotic carotid plaque from ultrasound images. The method uses the blood flow image first to detect the initial contour of the plaque, and then despeckle filtering and snakes to deform the ...

Angiogenesis in the atherosclerotic plaque
Redox Biology, 2017 Atherosclerosis is a multifocal alteration of the vascular wall of medium and large arteries characterized by a local accumulation of cholesterol and non-resolving inflammation. Atherothrombotic complications are the leading cause of disability and mortality in western countries.
