The lipid ratio castelli’s risk index II is a novel biomarker for intraplaque neovascularization in patients with carotid stenosis [PDF]
Lipids in Health and DiseaseBackground Dyslipidemia is a well-established cause of atherosclerosis. Intraplaque neovascularization (IPN), a hallmark of vulnerable stroke-prone plaques, is a critical feature of dyslipidemia progression.
