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

Comparison of carotid‐femoral and brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity in association with carotid plaque in a Chinese community‐based population

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2022
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the most widely used measurement of arterial stiffness in clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the relationships between carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and brachial‐ankle PWV (baPWV) and ...

Carotid Plaque Hemodynamics [PDF]

Interventional Neurology, 2012
Internal carotid artery (ICA) plaques constitute one major source of retinal and cerebral brain embolism. Current guidelines recommend optimal treatment of cardiovascular risk factors and recanalization based on the degree of ICA stenosis. However, ICA plaque composition, motion, vascularization, and local hemodynamics have only received limited ...

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 ...

Association between the triglyceride-glucose index and carotid plaque incidence: a longitudinal study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2022
Background Carotid plaque and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index are associated with insulin resistance. However, a highly debated question is whether there is an association between the TyG index and carotid plaque incidence. Thus we performed an in-depth

Advanced Carotid Plaque Imaging [PDF]

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2010
Treatment of carotid artery stenosis by endarterectomy or stenting can significantly reduce stroke risk. In clinical practice, indication for surgery or stenting is primarily based on the degree of stenosis, but there is growing awareness that pathophysiological features within a vulnerable plaque play a key role in predicting stroke risk.

Carotid Plaque Score for Stroke and Cardiovascular Risk Prediction in a Middle‐Aged Cohort From the General Population

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background We aimed to explore the predictive value of the carotid plaque score, compared with the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation 2 (SCORE2) risk prediction algorithm, on incident ischemic stroke and major adverse cardiovascular events and establish
