Serum Biomarkers in Carotid Artery Disease

Diagnostics, 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 ...

Carotid Artery Disease [PDF]

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.

Comprehensive genetic screening for vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome through an amplification‐based next‐generation sequencing system

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 1, Page 37-51, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder (HCTD) characterized by arterial dissection/aneurysm/rupture, sigmoid colon rupture, or uterine rupture. Diagnosis is confirmed by detecting heterozygous variants in COL3A1.

Extracellular Matrix Targeted MRI Probes

Analysis &Sensing, Volume 3, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Gadolinium based MRI probes targeted to ECM components, either proteins or enzymes, hold promise for accurate molecular characterization and staging of fibrotic diseases in vivo. Non‐covalent binding probes (1), reactive probes (2), and enzyme‐responsive probes (3) are discussed.

Classification of Pressure Gradient of Human Common Carotid Artery and Ascending Aorta on the Basis of Age and Gender [PDF]

International Journal of computer Applications, Volume 145, No.1, July 2016, 2017
The current work is done to see which artery has more chance of having cardiovascular diseases by measuring value of pressure gradient in the common carotid artery (CCA) and ascending aorta according to age and gender. Pressure gradient is determined in the CCA and ascending aorta of presumed healthy volunteers, having age between 10 and 60 years.

A promising tool to tackle the risk of cerebral vascular disease, the emergence of novel carotid wall imaging

Brain Circulation, 2020
Stroke is a heterogeneous vascular disease. Carotid artery atherosclerosis is associated with almost one-quarter of ischemic strokes. Moreover, a large percentage of preventable strokes are currently attributed to carotid atherosclerosis.

Area-preserving mapping of 3D ultrasound carotid artery images using density-equalizing reference map [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 67(9), 1507-1517 (2020), 2018
Carotid atherosclerosis is a focal disease at the bifurcations of the carotid artery. To quantitatively monitor the local changes in the vessel-wall-plus-plaque thickness (VWT) and compare the VWT distributions for different patients or for the same patients at different ultrasound scanning sessions, a mapping technique is required to adjust for the ...

Relation Between Syntax Score and Complexity of Carotid Artery Disease

Journal of Contemporary Medicine, 2021
Introduction: Carotid artery disease may cause severe constriction or complete occlusion in carotid arteries, it may not give any symptoms until it appears. In some people, stroke is the first finding of the disease.
