Assessment of carotid atherosclerosis disease as an incremental predictive value for cardiovascular disease risk

Vascular Investigation and Therapy, 2023
Assessment of the carotid atherosclerosis disease can give a prognostication of a patient's cardiovascular risk. The assessment of carotid atherosclerosis is essential because of the complication of risk factors resulting in severe cardiovascular disease

Serum Uric Acid and the Progression of Carotid Atherosclerosis: Association in a 10-year Chinese Cohort Study of a Health Check-up Population with Normal Uric Acid Levels [PDF]

Zhongguo quanke yixue, 2022
Background It is considered that serum uric acid (SUA), which may induce oxidative stress and vascular endothelial dysfunction, has a potential association with atherosclerosis, but it has not been fully clarified.

MRI of carotid atherosclerosis [PDF]

Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2008
MRI of carotid atherosclerosis provides a unique method to characterize plaque morphology and tissue composition, as well as, to a certain extent, plaque inflammation. Because of its noninvasiveness, it has many current and potential applications: the fact that it is the only technique that can examine the fibrous cap status in vivo makes it a powerful

Extracellular Matrix Targeted MRI Probes

Analysis &Sensing, Volume 3, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Gadolinium based MRI probes targeted to ECM components, either proteins or enzymes, hold promise for accurate molecular characterization and staging of fibrotic diseases in vivo. Non‐covalent binding probes (1), reactive probes (2), and enzyme‐responsive probes (3) are discussed.

MRI of Carotid Atherosclerosis [PDF]

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2013
Although MRI is widely used to observe atherosclerosis impacts on the vessel lumen, MRI also depicts the size of the plaque itself, its composition, and plaque inflammation, providing information beyond simple stenosis. This article summarizes the state of evidence for a clinical role for MRI of carotid atherosclerosis.MRI of carotid atherosclerosis ...

The roles of MMP8/MMP10 polymorphisms in ischemic stroke susceptibility

Brain and Behavior, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Ischemic stroke (IS), a multifactorial and polygenic disease, is the most common cause of death. This study aimed to determine the roles of MMP8/MMP10 polymorphisms in IS susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. Methods MMP8 rs1940475 and rs3765620, and MMP10 rs17860949 from 700 IS patients and 700 controls were genotyped by ...

Long‐term outcomes after paclitaxel‐coated balloon angioplasty of femoropopliteal arteries in Asian patients of the IN.PACT Global Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 100, Issue 7, Page 1273-1283, December 1, 2022., 2022
Abstract Objectives The long‐term data on the use of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) for femoropopliteal atherosclerotic lesions in the real‐world setting are limited, even more so for racially and geographically distinct populations. The present analysis reports the 5‐year safety and effectiveness outcomes of a DCB in the Asian subset of the prospective ...
