Endothelial function assessment in atherosclerosis: Comparison of brachial artery flow‑mediated vasodilation and peripheral arterial tonometry [PDF]

, 2013
INTRODUCTION Endothelial dysfunction, characterized by the loss of nitric oxide bioavailability, is a key element in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and an important prognostic factor in cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the development of reliable,

Plasma Betatrophin Levels and Carotid Atherosclerosis [PDF]

Disease Markers, 2019
Aims. Betatrophin is a recently identified circulating adipokine that may affect lipid and glucose metabolism. However, the association between plasma betatrophin levels and carotid atherosclerosis has not been elucidated. Methods. We investigated plasma betatrophin levels in 153 subjects undergoing carotid ultrasonography.

Endothelial BMP6 Drives Hemodynamic-Dependent VSMCs Calcification in Carotid Atherosclerosis. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
The study demonstrates that endothelial cell (EC)‐derived BMP6 promotes the osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) through cell‐cell interactions. Additionally, the researchers preliminarily explore the driving effect of hemodynamic factors on BMP6‐induced calcification and reveal the regulatory role of KLF4 on BMP6.

Aneurysm Wall Enhancement and Probability of Instability in Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms: A Long‐Term Follow‐Up Study

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) may predict aneurysm growth and rupture in the short‐term, but there is a lack of long‐term follow‐up studies. We aimed to determine whether unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) with AWE have a higher probability of aneurysm instability during long‐term follow‐up compared with those without AWE. Methods For

Carotid artery atherosclerosis

European Heart Journal
Cardiovascular disease remains a prominent cause of disability and premature death worldwide. Within this spectrum, carotid artery atherosclerosis is a complex and multifaceted condition, and a prominent precursor of acute ischaemic stroke and other cardiovascular events.

Revisiting Incomplete Tissue‐Level Reperfusion Following Successful Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Among patients with acute ischemic stroke achieving successful large vessel recanalization (defined as expanded Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [eTICI ≥2b]), incomplete tissue‐level reperfusion, distinct from visually identifiable distal occlusion on digital‐subtraction angiography, remains a significant challenge.
