Carotid artery stenosis and coronary artery disease coincidence [PDF]

Reviews in Clinical Medicine, 2015
Cerebrovascular event is one of the important causes of death in the world. Carotid artery stenosis is one of main risk factors of cerebrovascular events. Risk factors for atherosclerosis are found in carotid artery stenosis.

Plasticity of the bony carotid canal and its clinical use for assessing negative remodeling of the internal carotid artery.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Background and objectiveIt has long been believed that the bony carotid canal has no plasticity and that a small canal represents a hypoplastic internal carotid artery.

Associations of Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness and Plaque Heterogeneity With the Risks of Stroke Subtypes and Coronary Artery Disease in the Japanese General Population: The Circulatory Risk in Communities Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Evidence on the associations of carotid intima‐media thickness and carotid plaque characteristics with stroke subtypes and coronary artery disease risks in Asians is limited.

Study on asymptomatic carotid artery disease in high-risk population: A hospital-based study in the eastern part of India

Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, 2023
Background: Stroke is the most important cause of mortality and morbidity. Carotid artery disease is the leading cause of ischemic stroke. Carotid intima-media thickness can be used as an important tool for severity of atherosclerosis. This study revised

Prevalence of carotid artery disease in candidates undergoing coronary bypass graft seen at Madras Medical Mission

Sahel Medical Journal, 2013
Background: Significant carotid artery disease in candidates going for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) increases the risk of developing peri-operative neurologic events. Therefore, a pre-operative carotid Doppler ultrasonography, which is simple, non-

Head and neck CT angiography to assess the internal carotid artery stealing pathway

BMC Neurology, 2020
Background Common carotid artery occlusive disease (CCAOD) could form internal carotid artery steal pathways. Based on the diagnostic results of digital subtraction angiography (DSA), head and neck computed tomography angiography (CTA) was used to find ...

Machine learning for detection of stenoses and aneurysms: application in a physiologically realistic virtual patient database [PDF]

Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology (2021), 2021
This study presents an application of machine learning (ML) methods for detecting the presence of stenoses and aneurysms in the human arterial system. Four major forms of arterial disease -- carotid artery stenosis (CAS), subclavian artery stenosis (SAC), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) -- are considered.

Wall Shear Stress Analysis in Stenosed Carotid Arteries with Different Shapes of Plaque [PDF]

International Journal of Computer Applications, Volume 145, No.4, July 2016, 2017
Atherosclerosis is a disease caused due to formation of plaque into the artery. Increase in plaque affects the wall shear stress. The present study is performed to calculate wall shear stress in different geometries of stenosed carotid artery. A 2D model of different geometries is generated using CFD for Non- Newtonian model.

Evaluation of the Femoral Artery IMT as a Risk Factor of Cardiovascular Disease

Journal of Surgical Ultrasound, 2019
Purpose: The carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is a risk factor for atherosclerosis that can predict the association of cardiovascular disease. Despite this, there have been few studies on the femoral artery IMT.
