CT attenuation analysis of carotid intraplaque hemorrhage [PDF]

, 2018
Background and Purpose: Intraplaque hemorrhage is considered a leading parameter of carotid plaque vulnerability. Our purpose was to assess the CT characteristics of intraplaque hemorrhage with histopathologic correlation to identify features that allow ...

Macrophage autophagy in atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2013
Macrophages play crucial roles in atherosclerotic immune responses. Recent investigation into macrophage autophagy (AP) in atherosclerosis has demonstrated a novel pathway through which these cells contribute to vascular inflammation.

Improved detection of molecular markers of atherosclerotic plaques using sub-millimeter PET imaging [PDF]

, 2020
Since atherosclerotic plaques are small and sparse, their non-invasive detection via PET imaging requires both highly specific radiotracers as well as imaging systems with high sensitivity and resolution.

Atherosclerotic carotid plaque composition: a 3T and 7T MRI-histology correlation study [PDF]

, 2016
Background and Purpose Carotid artery atherosclerotic plaque composition may influence plaque stability and risk of thromboembolic events, and non-invasive plaque imaging may therefore permit risk stratification for clinical management.

Altered metabolism distinguishes high-risk from stable carotid atherosclerotic plaques

European Heart Journal, 2018
Aims Identification and treatment of the rupture prone atherosclerotic plaque remains a challenge for reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease. The interconnection of metabolic and inflammatory processes in rupture prone plaques is poorly understood.

Sleep apnea-COPD overlap syndrome is associated with larger left carotid atherosclerotic plaques

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundLittle is known about whether the overlap syndrome (OS) combining features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome increases the risk of stroke associated with COPD itself.MethodsWe prospectively ...

The role of p53 in atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2006
Although the role of the tumour suppressor gene p53 is well known in cancer, recent studies have highlighted a fundamental role for p53 in regulating cells in the advanced atherosclerotic plaque, the major cause of heart attacks and stroke. In particular,

Inflammation during the life cycle of the atherosclerotic plaque.

Cardiovascular Research, 2021
Inflammation orchestrates each stage of the life cycle of atherosclerotic plaques. Indeed, inflammatory mediators likely link many traditional and emerging risk factors with atherogenesis.

Cathepsin Activity-Based Probes and Inhibitor for Preclinical Atherosclerosis Imaging and Macrophage Depletion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, mainly due to an increasing prevalence of atherosclerosis characterized by inflammatory plaques.

Consistency in Geometry Among Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques Extracted From Computed Tomography Angiography

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Background: The three-dimensional (3D) geometry of coronary atherosclerotic plaques is associated with plaque growth and the occurrence of coronary artery disease. However, there is a lack of studies on the 3D geometric properties of coronary plaques. We
