The Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Was Associated With Intraplaque Neovascularization of the Carotid Artery on AngioPLUS. [PDF]
The monocyte–lymphocyte ratio (MLR) is a hematological test parameter that reflects the status of both monocytes and lymphocytes as inflammatory cells. This study aims to investigate the relationship between MLR and carotid intraplaque neovascularization

Intraplaque neovascularization and progression of atherosclerosis: A review of SMI technical assessment and berberine-statin regulatory mechanisms. [PDF]
Intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) is a central driver of atherosclerosis (AS) progression and plaque vulnerability, and its dynamics are closely related to the risk of cardiovascular events. Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) has become a key tool for

Associations of plaque morphology and location with Intraplaque neovascularization in the carotid artery by contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging. [PDF]
Objective Intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) is a known indicator of plaque vulnerability, and is thus considered a predictor of stroke. The morphology and location of the carotid plaque may be correlated with plaque vulnerability. Therefore, our study

Consistency of superb microvascular imaging and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in detection of intraplaque neovascularization: A meta-analysis. [PDF]
This meta-analysis assesses the consistency of superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in detecting intraplaque neovascularization (IPN). We searched PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and CBM databases.

Diagnostic accuracy of superb microvascular imaging for detecting intraplaque neovascularization: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Background Atherosclerotic plaques can cause carotid artery stenosis, and “vulnerable plaques” can even lead to ischemic stroke. The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of superb microvascular imaging (SMI) for the detection of carotid ...

Effect of moderate-intensity statin on carotid intraplaque neovascularization of coronary artery disease: a retrospective cohort study. [PDF]
Background Statin treatment can reduce atherosclerotic plaque as detected via invasive intracoronary methods. However, few studies have evaluated the effect of moderate-intensity statin therapy on carotid intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) using ...

Impact of H-Type Hypertension on Intraplaque Neovascularization Assessed by Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound. [PDF]
Aim: H-type hypertension is connected with carotid atherosclerotic plaques and stroke, whereas neovascularization is a dominant contributor to plaque vulnerability.

Carotid intraplaque neovascularization for predicting ischemic cerebrovascular events in patients with hypertension. [PDF]
Background Patients with hypertension are prone to developing carotid atherosclerotic plaques, and unstable plaques are a key contributor to ischemic cerebrovascular events (ICEs), including transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and ischemic strokes ...

Relationship Between Carotid Intraplaque Neovascularization and Immune–Inflammatory Biomarkers with Coronary Stenosis [PDF]
Background: Intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) correlates significantly with plaque vulnerability and can be detected using Angio PLanewave UltraSensitive imaging technology (Angio PL.U.S.; AP). Several immune–inflammatory biomarkers
