Reconstruction and quantification of the carotid artery bifurcation from 3D ultrasound images [PDF]

, 2004
Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound is a relatively new technique, which is well suited to imaging superficial blood vessels, and potentially provides a useful, noninvasive method for generating anatomically realistic 3-D models of the peripheral ...

Residual cholesterol levels are associated with carotid plaque stability in patients with carotid stenosis

Scientific Reports
Residual cholesterol (RC) is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis. High levels of RC have been shown to be associated with unstable plaque in healthy populations. However, the association between RC and unstable carotid plaque in specific

Can Carotid Plaque Predict Coronary Plaque?

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2013
Atherothrombotic occlusive vascular disease is a leading cause of acute cardiovascular events (acute coronary syndromes, sudden death, and ischemic stroke). Therapeutic lifestyle modification, medical therapy to control risk factors, and, in selected cases, revascularization by percutaneous ...

The unstable carotid plaque. [PDF]

Stroke, 1989
However, neurologic outcome correlated highly with acute local changes in large, severely stenosing, unstable plaques, and a correlation also exists with progression or regression, possibly reflecting plaque instability.

Association between carotid plaque characteristics and acute cerebral infarction determined by MRI in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2017
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) might aggravate the carotid plaque vulnerability, and increase the risk for ischemic stroke. Few studies reported the acute stroke subtype with carotid plaque characteristics in T2DM patients.
