Correlation of carotid plaque and peripheral carotid adipose tissue characteristics with coronary computed tomography angiography-based fractional flow reserve

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background The study aimed to investigate the correlation of carotid plaque and peripheral carotid adipose tissue (PCAT) characteristics with coronary computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) values.

Aterofisiol® in carotid plaque evolution

open access: yesDrug 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 ...

RANTES/CCL5 and risk for coronary events: results from the MONICA/KORA Augsburg case-cohort, Athero-Express and CARDIoGRAM studies. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The chemokine RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted)/CCL5 is involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease in mice, whereas less is known in humans. We hypothesised that its relevance for atherosclerosis should be

Synergistic effects of lipoprotein (a) and fibrinogen on carotid plaque in patients with coronary artery disease

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Medical Research
Background Elevated lipoprotein (a) [Lp (a)] and fibrinogen (Fib) are important factors contributing to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Carotid plaque is a manifestation of carotid atherosclerosis, and previous studies have shown that Fib has a ...

Predictive haemodynamics in a one-dimensional human carotid artery bifurcation. Part II: application to graft design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A Bayesian surrogate modelling technique is proposed that may be able to predict an optimal bypass graft configuration for patients suffering with stenosis in the internal carotid artery (ICA). At the outset, this statistical technique is considered as a

Sonographic assessment of carotid atherosclerosis: preferred risk indicator for future cardiovascular events?

open access: yesSwiss Medical Weekly, 2019
Carotid ultrasound allows rapid and reliable quantification of atherosclerosis in humans. Although the definition of carotid plaque is not uniform, intimal thickening of at least 1.5 mm is currently defined as plaque. Plaque can be easily quantified by

Measurement of motion of carotid bifurcation plaques

open access: yes2012 IEEE 12th International Conference on Bioinformatics & Bioengineering (BIBE), 2012
Video loops of B-mode ultrasound images of 35 carotid bifurcation plaques were obtained (4 symptomatic and 31 asymptomatic) from patients with carotid bifurcation atherosclerosis. Video loops were classified visually as showing concordant (n=22) or discordant motion (n=13).

Observation of the embolus protection filter for carotid artery stenting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) in high-surgical-risk patients is considered as an effective alternative to carotid endarterectomy. Since the occurrence of distal embolization with CAS is still major concern, embolus protection device is ...

Long-term Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with an increased risk of carotid plaque formation: a retrospective cohort study

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundCardiovascular disease significantly impacts human health. The development of carotid plaques elevates the risk of cardiovascular disease, while the influence of Helicobacter pylori (H.

Risk factors for carotid plaque formation in type 2 diabetes mellitus

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine
Object Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at higher risk of developing atherosclerosis. Previous studies have analyzed the factors associated with diabetic macrovascular disease, although whether these factors are applicable to T2DM ...
