Managing hypercholesterolemia and its correlation with carotid plaque morphology in patients undergoing crotid endarterectomy

, 2008
Purpose: hypercholesterolemia is a critical problem in patients with carotid atherosclerosis. The adequacy of attention to lipid risk factors in patients with carotid stenosis awaiting carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has rarely been studied.

Carotid Plaque Stresses.

, 2008
1.1 Current Carotid Risk Assessment In current clinical practice, selection for surgical removal of the carotid plaque (carotid endarterectomy) is determined by the degree of luminal narrowing known as the degree of stenosis (Rothwell et al., 2003a). The operation has been determined beneficial in patients with symptomatic, severe stenosis in two large,

Remnant cholesterol and the risk of carotid plaque in hypertension: results from a community-based screening among old adults in Hangzhou, China

Scientific Reports
Elevated remnant cholesterol (RC) is considered a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but the evidence on this association applies to the Chinese population with hypertension is limited.

Ultrasonic and clinical risk factors of solitary Plaque-RADS-2 carotid plaque for predicting anterior circulation ischemic stroke

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundPlaque-RADS-2 carotid plaque is regarded as a low risk for attribution of cerebrovascular events. Nevertheless, in individuals with carotid plaque, the risk of ischemic stroke poses a continuous threat to both health and quality of life.
