Carotid plaque burden across the glycaemic spectrum: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
BMC Endocrine DisordersBackground Dysglycaemia accelerates atherosclerosis, but the extent to which carotid plaque burden and morphology differ across the full glycaemic spectrum, and which cardiometabolic factors are most strongly associated with this burden, remain ...

Carotid Plaque Vulnerability Diagnosis by CTA versus MRA: A Systematic Review
Diagnostics, 2023 Stenosis grade of the carotid arteries has been the primary indicator for risk stratification and surgical treatment of carotid artery disease. Certain characteristics of the carotid plaque render it vulnerable and have been associated with increased ...
