Progress in atherosclerotic plaque imaging

World Journal of Radiology, 2012
Cardiovascular diseases are the primary cause of mortality in the industrialized world, and arterial obstruction, triggered by rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaques, lead to myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke. Vulnerable plaques do not necessarily occur with flow-limiting stenosis, thus conventional luminographic assessment of the pathology ...

The Availability of the α7-Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor in Early Identification of Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaques: A Study Using a Novel 18F-Label Radioligand PET

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Background: It has been confirmed that the α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) is an important target for identifying vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques. Previously, we successfully designed and synthesized a series of 18F-labeled PET molecular

Femoral Artery Atherosclerosis Is Associated With Physical Function Across the Spectrum of the Ankle-Brachial Index: The San Diego Population Study. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundThe ankle-brachial index (ABI) is inadequate to detect early-stage atherosclerotic disease, when interventions to prevent functional decline may be the most effective.

Adiponectin and Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaques

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2011
High-risk plaques that are vulnerable to rupture demonstrate distinct morphological characteristics. They are differentiated from the lesions responsible for stable coronary artery disease by their large necrotic cores, thin-inflamed fibrous caps, and positive remodeling.

Calcifications in atherosclerotic plaques and impact on plaque biomechanics

Journal of Biomechanics, 2019
The catastrophic mechanical rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque is the underlying cause of the majority of cardiovascular events. The infestation of vascular calcification in the plaques creates a mechanically complex tissue composite. Local stress concentrations and plaque tissue strength properties are the governing parameters required to predict ...

Bioinformatics analysis reveals the landscape of immune cell infiltration and immune-related pathways participating in the progression of carotid atherosclerotic plaques

Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 2021
Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease associated with inflammatory cell infiltration and activation of immune-related pathways. In our study, we aimed to uncover immune-related changes and explore novel immunological features in the development of ...

Mechanisms of erosion of atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2017
Purpose of review The present review explores the mechanisms of superficial intimal erosion, a common cause of thrombotic complications of atherosclerosis. Recent findings Human coronary artery atheroma that give rise to thrombosis because of erosion differ diametrically from those ...

Natriuretic peptide receptor-C is up-regulated in the intima of advanced carotid artery atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2016
OBJECTIVE: Natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPR-C/NPR-3) is a cell surface protein involved in vascular remodelling that is up-regulated in atherosclerosis. NPR-C expression has not been well characterized in human carotid artery occlusive lesions.
