Angiogenesis and inflammation in carotid atherosclerosis

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2008
Carotid atherosclerosis is a leading cause of cerebrovascular events. The control of cardiovascular risk factors, i.e. tobacco smoking, alcohol abuse, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes and obesity proved to reduce number of fatal and non-fatal strokes but failed to prevent important number of them.

Current Management of Carotid Atherosclerosis

Military Medicine, 1995
Carotid atherosclerosis affects thousands of individuals each year. A history of transient ischemic attacks should alert the clinician to the possibility of carotid artery disease. Carotid endarterectomy is of proven benefit in both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, with angiographically confirmed carotid stenosis of from 70 to 99 ...

Carotid and coronary atherosclerosis

Postgraduate Medicine, 1991
In recent years research has revealed an association between carotid atherosclerosis and coronary atherosclerosis that parallels the long-recognized association between clinically manifest cerebrovascular disease and clinically manifest coronary artery disease (CAD).

Introduction to Carotid Atherosclerosis

2020
We present a brief overview of carotid atherosclerosis, including a historical perspective, epidemiology, clinical presentation, and imaging modalities. The first known description of the carotid artery dates back to Hippocrates (400–200 BC), but this knowledge has grown extensively.

Snoring and carotid artery atherosclerosis

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2009
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is a common disorder, especially in middle-aged men, in whom the prevalence is about 4%. Snoring is a feature of OSA but can occur in patients without sleep apnea, with a prevalence of 15% in women and 54% in men.

Carotid Atherosclerosis in Kidney Disease

2013
Recently, chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a major public health problem and a risk factor for all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD). To prevent cardiovascular disease as early as possible, subclinical studies for CKD are essential. Recently, carotid atherosclerosis has been evaluated by measurement of the intima-media thickness (IMT)

Noninvasive Imaging of Carotid Atherosclerosis

2010
Carotid artery stenosis is a leading, treatable risk factor for stroke. Until recently, risk prediction has, for the main part, been based on the degree of lumen narrowing which does not reflect our actual insight into the etiology of arterio-embolic stroke.

Pathophysiology of Carotid Atherosclerosis

2011
Stroke continues to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. According to the World Health Organization, 15 million people suffer stroke worldwide annually and of these, 5 million die, and another 5 million are permanently disabled. In the United States, about 795,000 people suffer from stroke, and 143,579 people die from
