Fully automated segmentation and tracking of the intima media thickness in ultrasound video sequences of the common carotid artery [PDF]
—The robust identification and measurement of the intima media thickness (IMT) has a high clinical relevance because it represents one of the most precise predictors used in the assessment of potential future cardiovascular events.

Ulceration and carotid artery disease. [PDF]
L'importance de l'ulceration des plaques carotidiennes comme cause de symptomes ischemiques cerebraux reste controversee. Une ulceration est souvent observee dans les plaques homolaterales aux symptomes ischemiques mais habituellement en association a une stenose importante.

Localization of lipopolysaccharide from Escherichia Coli into human atherosclerotic plaque [PDF]
Experimental studies showed that gut-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is pro-atherogenic, however, its relationship with human atherosclerosis is still to be defined.

PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE, SYMPTOMS AND CAROTID ARTERY DISEASE
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.

PRAS40 suppresses atherogenesis through inhibition of mTORC1-dependent pro-inflammatory signaling in endothelial cells [PDF]
Endothelial pro-inflammatory activation plays a pivotal role in atherosclerosis, and many pro-inflammatory and atherogenic signals converge upon mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR).

Optimal Treatment of Carotid Artery Disease
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

Apolipoprotein L1 gene variants associate with prevalent kidney but not prevalent cardiovascular disease in the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial. [PDF]
Apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1) G1 and G2 coding variants are strongly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in African Americans (AAs). Here APOL1 association was tested with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urine albumin ...
