Study on viscosity induced contrast in ultrasound color flow imaging of carotid atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2021 Efficient imaging of blood flow disturbances resulted from carotid atherosclerosis plays a vital role clinically to predict brain stroke risk. Carotid atherosclerosis and its development is closely linked with raised blood viscosity.

Ultrasound Markers of Carotid Atherosclerosis and Cognition
Stroke, 2017 Background and Purpose— Ultrasound markers of carotid atherosclerosis may be related to cognitive status. We hypothesized that individuals with greater carotid intima–media thickness (cIMT) and carotid plaque burden would exhibit worse cognition. Methods—

Association between antibodies to carbamylated proteins and subclinical atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis patients [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients carry a high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The excess of cardiovascular disease cannot be entirely explained by traditional risk factors and the immune system contributes to the development

Gene expression signatures, pathways and networks in carotid atherosclerosis
Journal of Internal Medicine, 2016 Embolism from unstable atheromas in the carotid bifurcation is a major cause of stroke. Here, we analysed gene expression in endarterectomies from patients with symptomatic (S) and asymptomatic (AS) carotid stenosis to identify pathways linked to plaque ...

Carotid intima media thickness and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in South Asian immigrants: could dysfunctional HDL be the missing link? [PDF]
, 2014 IntroductionSouth Asian immigrants (SAIs) in the US exhibit higher prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and its risk factors compared with other ethnic populations.

Genetics of carotid atherosclerosis
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009 Cardiovascular disease and stroke are heterogeneous and multifactorial diseases. Given the extreme complexity of risk factors contributing to the complex diseases, evaluation of the intermediate phenotypes may be more advantageous than the solid clinical events.

Deep Learning-Based Carotid Artery Vessel Wall Segmentation in Black-Blood MRI Using Anatomical Priors [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Carotid artery vessel wall thickness measurement is an essential step in the monitoring of patients with atherosclerosis. This requires accurate segmentation of the vessel wall, i.e., the region between an artery's lumen and outer wall, in black-blood magnetic resonance (MR) images.

Short Telomeres, but Not Telomere Attrition Rates, Are Associated With Carotid Atherosclerosis
HYPERTENSION, 2017 Short telomeres are associated with atherosclerosis. However, the temporal relationship between atherosclerosis and telomere length is unclear. The objective of this work was to examine the temporal formation and progression of carotid atherosclerotic ...

Regional Variation in Genetic Control of Atherosclerosis in Hyperlipidemic Mice
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Atherosclerosis is a polygenic disorder that often affects multiple arteries. Carotid arteries are common sites for evaluating subclinical atherosclerosis, and aortic root is the standard site for quantifying atherosclerosis in mice.

Immune-mediated inflammation promotes subclinical atherosclerosis in recent-onset psoriatic arthritis patients without conventional cardiovascular risk factors [PDF]
, 2018 Studies on the inflammatory burden in recent-onset psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients without conventional cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) are not available.
