Imaging the carotid atherosclerotic plaque [PDF]

Vascular Biology, 2019
This mini review provides a concise overview of imaging techniques that are currently used to image the atheroscletoric plaque in the carotid artery in vivo. The main techniques include ultrasound imaging, X-ray imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography imaging.

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 ...

Drug‐Free Thrombolysis Mediated by Physically Activated Micro/Nanoparticles

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Overview of particle‐mediated thrombolytic effects (thermal, mechanical, and chemical) and their activating physical stimuli (light, ultrasound, and magnetic field) in drug‐free thrombolysis. ABSTRACT Thrombus‐associated disorders rank among the world's leading causes of death, with ischemic heart disease and stroke as the main contributors.

A Threshold Study of Carotid Plaque Risk in Postmenopausal Middle-aged Women with Normal Homocysteine [PDF]

Zhongguo quanke yixue
Background Carotid plaque is an important early predictive signal of clinical carotid atherosclerosis, the association between homocysteine (Hcy) and carotid plaque is well recognized, however, the correlation between Hcy and carotid plaque in ...

Postoperative Stress Accelerates Atherosclerosis Through Inflammatory Remodeling of the HDL Proteome and Impaired Reverse Cholesterol Transport

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study shows that noncardiac surgical inflammation rapidly disrupts HDL function and cholesterol efflux in mice and human patients. Impaired reverse cholesterol transport after surgery drives rapid lipid accumulation, NETosis, and apoptosis within atherosclerotic plaques.

Research Progress on the Risk Factors and Outcomes of Human Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques

Chinese Medical Journal, 2017
Objective: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process that results in complex lesions or plaques that protrude into the arterial lumen. Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture, with distal atheromatous debris embolization, causes cerebrovascular events ...

Aterofisiol® in carotid plaque evolution

Drug Design, Development and Therapy, 2015
In patients with carotid stenosis, the risk of plaque rupture is related to the composition of the atherosclerotic plaque rather than to its magnitude. In this regard, we evaluated the effects of a supplement, Aterofisiol,(®) containing omega-3 (EPA [eicosapen acid] DHA [docosahexaenoic acid]), vitamin K2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, oligomeric ...

Carotid Plaque Neovascularization Detected With Superb Microvascular Imaging Ultrasound Without Using Contrast Media.

Stroke, 2019
Background and Purpose- A significant proportion of ischemic strokes are caused by emboli from unstable carotid artery plaques with intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) as a key feature of plaque instability.

Contribution of Gli1+ Adventitial Stem Cells to Smooth Muscle Cells in Atherosclerosis and Vascular Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gli1+ adventitial stem cells (ASCs) have been thought to generate smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in atherosclerosis. Using a dual‐recombinase lineage tracing to exclude ectopic labeling, Wang et al. found that Gli1+ ASCs do not contribute to SMCs in atherosclerotic plaques.
