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 ...

Search for Reliable Circulating Biomarkers to Predict Carotid Plaque Vulnerability

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Atherosclerosis is responsible for 20% of ischemic strokes, and the plaques from the internal carotid artery the most frequently involved. Lipoproteins play a key role in carotid atherosclerosis since lipid accumulation contributes to plaque progression ...
