Identification of potential clinical indicators of carotid plaque disruption using patient specific finite element modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
It has been hypothesised that the stress distribution within the arterial wall may provide an indicator of atherosclerotic plaque disruption.

Carotid plaque morphology: A review

open access: yesEuropean 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

Length of carotid stenosis predicts peri-procedural stroke or death and restenosis in patients randomized to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BackgroundThe anatomy of carotid stenosis may influence the outcome of endovascular treatment or carotid endarterectomy. Whether anatomy favors one treatment over the other in terms of safety or efficacy has not been investigated in randomized trials ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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]

open access: yesInternational 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

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from the CHARGE consortium identifies common variants associated with carotid intima media thickness and plaque [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and plaque determined by ultrasonography are established measures of subclinical atherosclerosis that each predicts future cardiovascular disease events.

Imaging of the Carotid Artery Vulnerable Plaque [PDF]

open access: yesCardioVascular 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

Stress-Relaxation and Cyclic Behavior of Human Carotid Plaque Tissue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is a catastrophic event that contributes to mortality and long-term disability. A better understanding of the plaque mechanical behavior is essential for the identification of vulnerable plaques pre-rupture.

Association of serum-soluble heat shock protein 60 with carotid atherosclerosis: clinical significance determined in a follow-up study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous work has shown that soluble heat shock protein 60 (HSP60; sHSP60), present in circulating blood, is associated with carotid atherosclerosis.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
