Carotid Plaque Imaging

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2022
Atherosclerosis at the carotid bifurcation in the neck is common and the result of turbulent hemodynamics in the bulb. Carotid bulb plaques cause disabling strokes. Carotid vessel wall imaging characterizes the atherosclerotic plaque, documents disease progression, and assesses lesion severity by plaque morphology in addition ...

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 ...

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

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.

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.
