A role for autophagy in carotid atherosclerosis [PDF]

European Stroke Journal, 2016
Abstract Purpose Autophagy has emerged in recent years as a critical cellular survival mechanism for cell homeostasis and may play a protective role in atherosclerosis. We aimed to review here the role autophagy plays in different cell types present in carotid atherosclerotic plaques and that ...

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Progression in HIV-Infected Adults Occurs Preferentially at the Carotid Bifurcation and Is Predicted by Inflammation. [PDF]

, 2012
BackgroundShear stress gradients and inflammation have been causally associated with atherosclerosis development in carotid bifurcation regions. The mechanism underlying higher levels of carotid intima-media thickness observed among HIV-infected ...

Association between adiposity and systemic atherosclerosis: a protocol of a cross-sectional autopsy study. [PDF]

, 2016
IntroductionAdiposity has been associated with atherosclerosis in clinical studies. However, few autopsy studies have investigated this association, and they had only examined the coronary artery disease. Moreover, most studies had small sample sizes and

Progression of endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, and arterial stiffness in stable kidney transplant patients: a pilot study. [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND: Kidney transplant patients suffer from vascular abnormalities and high cardiovascular event rates, despite initial improvements post-transplantation. The nature of the progression of vascular abnormalities in the longer term is unknown.

Sex-specific association between carotid atherosclerosis and fundus arteriosclerosis in a Chinese population: a retrospective cross-sectional study

European Journal of Medical Research, 2023
Objectives Vascular stiffening is highly predictive of major adverse cardiovascular events. It is not clear whether microangiopathy, such as fundus arteriosclerosis, is related to carotid atherosclerosis. Hence, this study was designed to investigate the

Subclinical Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis and Cognitive Function: A Mini-Review

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Carotid artery atherosclerosis, the result of a multitude of vascular risk factors, is a promising marker for use in risk stratification. Recent evidence suggests that carotid artery atherosclerosis affects cognitive function and is an independent risk ...
