Serum Biomarkers in Carotid Artery Disease. [PDF]
Diagnostics (Basel), 2021 Carotid artery disease is considered a major cause of strokes and there is a need for early disease detection and management. Although imaging techniques have been developed for the diagnosis of carotid artery disease and different imaging-based markers have been proposed for the characterization of atherosclerotic plaques, there is still need for a ...

Circulation, 2006 Carotid arteries are the blood vessels that deliver blood through the neck to the brain. There is one carotid artery on each side of the neck, where its pulsation can be felt with a finger below the jaw bone. Blockages in the carotid artery decrease blood flow to the brain, causing a medical condition known as carotid artery disease.

Carotid artery disease and glaucoma. [PDF]
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1978 Five patients with evidence of severe bilateral carotid artery disease and increased intraocular pressure have been followed up for 3 to 12 years without the development of glaucomatous disc or field changes. Although it is frequently stated that glaucoma patients with low systemic or ophthalmic artery blood pressures show rapid progression of their ...

Management of Extracranial Carotid Artery Disease [PDF]
Cardiology Clinics, 2015 Stroke is the third leading cause of death in developed nations. Up to 88% of strokes are ischemic in nature. Extracranial carotid artery atherosclerotic disease is the third leading cause of ischemic stroke in the general population and the second most common nontraumatic cause among adults younger than 45 years.

PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE, SYMPTOMS AND CAROTID ARTERY DISEASE
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2012 Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients are at an increased risk of disease in other vascular territories. The relationship between PAD and carotid artery disease is unknown. A prospective database was used of over 3.5 million U.S.

Optimal Treatment of Carotid Artery Disease
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2008 Extracranial carotid artery disease accounts for approximately 25% of ischemic strokes. Although carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is the established gold standard for carotid revascularization, carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is continually developing into a safer and more efficacious method of stroke prevention. Embolic protection, improving

Arterial Remodeling in the Subclinical Carotid Artery Disease
JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2009 ObjectivesWe sought to identify clinical and/or plaque characteristics that affect atherosclerotic disease progression and arterial remodeling in the carotid artery with subclinical stenosis.BackgroundIncreasing severity of stenosis has been associated with a higher risk of stroke.
