Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021 Background Few studies have evaluated the prognostic significance of diameter‐based carotid sonographic measurements for mortality. We investigated whether a reduction in diameter of different carotid anatomical segments is associated with cardiovascular

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.

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 have been proposed for the characterization of atherosclerotic plaques, there is still need for a ...

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.

Reflex responses from the main pulmonary artery and bifurcation in anaesthetised dogs [PDF]
, 2000 This study was undertaken to determine the reflex cardiovascular and respiratory responses to discrete stimulation of pulmonary arterial baroreceptors using a preparation in which secondary modulation of responses from other reflexes was prevented.

Lack of Association of White Matter Lesions with Ipsilateral Carotid Artery Stenosis
Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2012 Background: White matter lesions (WML) are commonly seen on brain MRI and are generally considered a marker of tissue damage from cerebral small vessel disease.

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 ...

Differentiation of multipotent vascular stem cells contributes to vascular diseases. [PDF]
, 2012 It is generally accepted that the de-differentiation of smooth muscle cells, from the contractile to the proliferative/synthetic phenotype, has an important role during vascular remodelling and diseases.

An Integrated Visual Analytics System for Studying Clinical Carotid Artery Plaques [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Carotid artery plaques can cause arterial vascular diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction, posing a severe threat to human life. However, the current clinical examination mainly relies on a direct assessment by physicians of patients' clinical indicators and medical images, lacking an integrated visualization tool for analyzing the ...
