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

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

Carotid Plaque Stresses

, 2008
Currently, carotid risk assessment is based on measuring the degree of stenosis to determine if carotid endarterectomy should be offered symptomatic patients (NASCET, 1991; ECST, 1991; Rothwell et al., 2003a). However, there is growing evidence that morphological composition rather than degree of luminal stenosis may be the deciding factor in ...

Predictors for High-Risk Carotid Plaque in Asymptomatic Korean Population

Cardiovascular Therapeutics, 2020
Aims. High-risk carotid plaque remains an important risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). We sought to evaluate the characteristics of carotid plaque and to find out the predictors for high-risk carotid plaque in asymptomatic ...

Joint effects of carotid plaques and renal impairment on the risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause death in a community-based population: The Kailuan cohort study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
ObjectiveIt is unknown whether renal impairment and atherosclerosis increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death. Atherosclerosis already raises the risk of CVD and all-cause death.

Impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones and carotid plaque in patients with coronary heart disease: A RCSCD-TCM study in China

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
ContextPrevious studies on the association between thyroid function and carotid plaque have shown contradictory results, which may be attributable to the sensitivity to thyroid hormone indices.

Association Between Triglyceride–Glucose Index and Carotid Plaque Stability in Different Glycemic Status: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background The triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a reliable marker of insulin resistance. However, its value in patients with carotid plaque stability remains unclear.

Imaging the carotid atherosclerotic plaque [PDF]

Vascular Biology, 2019
This mini review provides a concise overview of imaging techniques that are currently used to image the atheroscletoric plaque in the carotid artery in vivo. The main techniques include ultrasound imaging, X-ray imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography imaging.
