Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from the CHARGE consortium identifies common variants associated with carotid intima media thickness and plaque [PDF]

, 2011
Carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and plaque determined by ultrasonography are established measures of subclinical atherosclerosis that each predicts future cardiovascular disease events.

Relationship between haemodynamic impairment and collateral blood flow in carotid artery disease

Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 2017
Collateral blood flow plays a pivotal role in steno-occlusive internal carotid artery (ICA) disease to prevent irreversible ischaemic damage. Our aim was to investigate the effect of carotid artery disease upon cerebral perfusion and cerebrovascular ...

Metformin for non-diabetic patients with coronary heart disease (the CAMERA study): a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

, 2009
<br>Background: Metformin reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes seemingly independent of lowering blood glucose concentration. We assessed the cardiovascular effects of metformin in individuals without type 2 diabetes.</br&

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.

Genetic susceptibility loci for cardiovascular disease and their impact on atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in part caused by lipid uptake in the vascular wall, but the exact underlying mechanisms leading to acute myocardial infarction and stroke remain poorly understood. Large consortia identified

Positional transient loss of consciousness and hemispheric deficits in the setting of severe four-vessel extracranial cerebrovascular disease

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2019
Carotid artery stenosis typically causes hemispheric neurologic effects by atheroembolism. Nonhemispheric symptoms, such as syncope, are generally not attributable to extracranial carotid disease.
