Residual cholesterol levels are associated with carotid plaque stability in patients with carotid stenosis [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Residual cholesterol (RC) is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis. High levels of RC have been shown to be associated with unstable plaque in healthy populations. However, the association between RC and unstable carotid plaque in specific

Nonlinear Association Between Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Unstable Carotid Plaque: A Single-Center Retrospective Study [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Background: The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a marker of lipids and atherosclerosis. However, the association between the AIP and the risk of unstable carotid plaque remains unclear. Methods: A total of 10,732 patients were enrolled.

Ultrasonic and clinical risk factors of solitary Plaque-RADS-2 carotid plaque for predicting anterior circulation ischemic stroke [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundPlaque-RADS-2 carotid plaque is regarded as a low risk for attribution of cerebrovascular events. Nevertheless, in individuals with carotid plaque, the risk of ischemic stroke poses a continuous threat to both health and quality of life.

Triglyceride-Glucose Index Is Related to Carotid Plaque and Its Stability in Nondiabetic Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
BackgroundCarotid plaque plays an important role in the development of stroke. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a reliable alternative marker of insulin resistance.

Non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio is associated with carotid plaque stability in general population: A cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
BackgroundCarotid atherosclerosis, especially the rupture of unstable plaques, plays an important role in the development of stroke. A novel lipid ratio, the non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)

Symptomatic Ulcerative Carotid Plaque [PDF]

Circulation, 2008
A 65-year-old man with a history of smoking, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus presented because of sudden-onset left hemiparesis. On admission, neurological examination disclosed a mild left-sided weakness, a normal consciousness level, and a right carotid bruit.
