Association between Carotid Bifurcation Angle and Vulnerable Plaque Volume Using Black Blood Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica, 2023
The morphology of the internal carotid artery (ICA) bifurcation is increasingly being recognized as the cause of atherosclerosis and vulnerable plaque leading to cerebral infarction.

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 ...

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.

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.

Carotid plaque morphology: A review

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 1995
The recent North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial has answered fairly conclusively the questions concerning the optimal management of patients with symptoms who have a > 70% stenosis of the internal carotid artery. It has also had the effect of refocusing attention on carotid pathology. The main question still to be answered is whether

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.

Synthetic Gel of Carotid Artery Plaque [PDF]

International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2007
Atherosclerosis is a complex disease that affects medium and large arteries, leading to the formation and progression of plaque. In this process the proteins play an essential role and as a consequence, proteomic-based strategies examining the protein content of cells or tissues could offer a useful approach for the study of plaque proteins. Due to the

Imaging of the Carotid Artery Vulnerable Plaque [PDF]

CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2013
Atherosclerosis involving the carotid arteries has a high prevalence in the population worldwide. This condition is significant because accidents of the carotid artery plaque are associated with the development of cerebrovascular events. For this reason, carotid atherosclerotic disease needs to be diagnosed and those determinants that are associated to
