Travelling to Rome : inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and angiogenesis during atherosclerotic plaque development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide followed by cancer. Atherosclerosis, the major underlying cause of cardiovascular diseases, is a syndrome affecting medium-sized and large arteries.

Comparative study on hemodynamic environments around patient-specific carotid atherosclerotic plaques with different symmetrical features

open access: yesMedicine in Novel Technology and Devices, 2021
Atherosclerotic plaque near the carotid sinus is a key risk factor for ischemic stroke. Although disturbed hemodynamic environments around atherosclerotic plaque had been investigated in many studies, the effect of their symmetrical features, especially ...

Low adiponectin levels are an independent predictor of mixed and non-calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaques. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of coronary artery disease (CAD). There is increasing recognition that lesion composition rather than size determines the acute complications of atherosclerotic disease.

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

Characteristics and evaluation of atherosclerotic plaques: an overview of state-of-the-art techniques

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2023
Atherosclerosis is an important cause of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lipid infiltration, inflammation, and altered vascular stress are the critical mechanisms that cause atherosclerotic plaque formation.

Atherosclerosis and Atheroma Plaque Rupture: Imaging Modalities in the Visualization of Vasa Vasorum and Atherosclerotic Plaques

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
Invasive angiography has been widely accepted as the gold standard to diagnose cardiovascular pathologies. Despite its superior resolution of demonstrating atherosclerotic plaque in terms of degree of lumen stenosis, the morphological assessment for the ...

Identification of potential clinical indicators of carotid plaque disruption using patient specific finite element modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
It has been hypothesised that the stress distribution within the arterial wall may provide an indicator of atherosclerotic plaque disruption.

Effect of calcification on the mechanical stability of plaque based on a three-dimensional carotid bifurcation model

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2012
Background This study characterizes the distribution and components of plaque structure by presenting a three-dimensional blood-vessel modelling with the aim of determining mechanical properties due to the effect of lipid core and calcification within a ...

Desipramine enhances the stability of atherosclerotic plaque in rabbits monitored with molecular imaging.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
Acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) promotes atherogenesis and acute cardiovascular events. We previously demonstrated ASM inhibitor desipramine attenuated oxidized-LDL-induced macrophage apoptosis in vitro.
