Atherosclerosis of the Carotid Artery

2019
Atherosclerosis, a disease affecting the large- and medium-sized vessels, is present in every human being. Atherosclerotic plaques can directly or indirectly cause obstruction of the arterial blood supply, causing ischemic damage distal from the occlusion.

Carotid Bifurcation Geometry and Atherosclerosis

Angiology, 2016
Hemodynamic changes occurring at the initial segments of the arterial bifurcations appear to play an important role in the development of atherosclerotic plaque. Therefore, arterial geometry might be a potential marker for atherosclerosis. Considerable evidence suggests that geometry can influence local hemodynamics at the carotid bifurcation ...

Clinical carotid atherosclerosis

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2002
Atherogenesis is an inflammatory process that begins in childhood. Early detection of atherosclerosis might allow for selection of subjects at risk for future cerebrovascular events at a time when dietary and lifestyle modification may have its greatest impact, and medical intervention may be useful for those who are refractory to such treatment or who

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.

Gallstones are associated with carotid atherosclerosis

Liver International, 2007
AbstractBackground/Aims: Gallstone disease (GD) and cardiovascular disease (CD) are common diseases worldwide with considerable economical impact and they are strongly associated. Carotid atherosclerosis is an excellent marker of risk for CD like stroke and myocardial infarction.

Lipoprotein (a) in patients with carotid atherosclerosis

Zhurnal nevrologii i psikhiatrii im. S.S. Korsakova, 2018
To evaluate the role of lipoprotein (a) in an atherosclerotic lesion of precerebral arteries and stroke development.Thirty-eight patients with atherosclerotic lesions of the carotid arteries established by duplex scanning, including 28 post stroke patients and 10 patients with asymptomatic atherosclerosis, were examined.

Snoring and carotid artery atherosclerosis [PDF]

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.

Socioeconomic Status and Carotid Atherosclerosis

Circulation, 1995
Background There is a consistent body of evidence that socioeconomic status (SES) is importantly associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, little information currently exists on the relationship between SES and early manifestations of atherosclerotic vascular disease ...

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.
