MR imaging of vulnerable carotid plaque.
Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy, 2020 Current risk stratification for stroke is still based upon percentage of carotid stenosis, despite this measure providing minimal patient-specific information on the actual risk of stroke for both symptomatic individuals without significant carotid ...

, 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 ...

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...
