Evaluation of Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques
Cardiology Clinics, 2009In many patients, unheralded myocardial infarction associated with a mortality of approximately 20% is the first manifestation of coronary artery disease. Approximately 40% of the population is considered to have a moderate midterm risk of 10% to 20%. Any of the stratification schemes suffers from a lack of accuracy to correctly determine the risk, and

Atherosclerosis is the most frequent cause of ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disorders. The condition is the leading cause of death in Western societies. At the core of this condition is the atherosclerotic plaque. It is within the structure of this lesion that multiple biochemical and cellular processes interact influencing its ...

[Atherosclerotic plaque formation].
La Revue du praticien, 2000Atherosclerotic plaque formation involves 5 steps: 1. low density lipoprotein (LDL) accumulation in the intima; 2. oxidation of LDL; 3. recruitment of monocytes-macrophages; 4. uptake of oxidized LDL by macrophage scavenger receptors, and transformation of macrophages into foam cells; 5.

Targeting Atherosclerotic Plaques
2002Clinical imaging of atherosclerotic plaques is based on anatomical demonstration of the narrowing of the involved artery (1). Angioscopy (2) and intravascular ultrasound (3) can demonstrate the precise location of the lesions, the extent of luminal narrowing and plaque thickening. However, both methods are invasive and cannot provide the composition or

Atherosclerotic plaque stabilization and regression
VasaSummary: Atherosclerotic plaques represent a typical deterioration of arterial wall in atherosclerotic process and are the source of cardiovascular events. Plaque progression and composition represent a major risk for cardiovascular events. Therefore, recently many studies have assessed changes in plaque characteristics and their response to various ...

Atherosclerotic plaque assessment by NMR
Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology and Medicine, 1998Developing imaging technologies capable of identifying unstable atheromatous plaques in vivo is a major issue of clinical cardiovascular research. These techniques would allow an earlier surgical or medical therapy before acute ischemic syndromes [1]. Plaque stability and its counterpart i.e.
