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

Medicine 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 ...

Exploration of the atherosclerotic plaque

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 1990
During the past 3 decades we have achieved a better understanding of the atherosclerotic process. It has been described as a series of changes in the intima of arteries consisting of the focal accumulation of lipids, complex carbohydrates, blood and blood products, fibrous tissues, and calcium that are also associated with changes in the media.

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

, 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.

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

Frontiers 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.

RANTES/CCL5 and risk for coronary events: results from the MONICA/KORA Augsburg case-cohort, Athero-Express and CARDIoGRAM studies. [PDF]

, 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

Stabilization of atherosclerotic plaques: an update [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2013
The majority of coronary thrombi (∼75%) is caused by plaque rupture .1,2 Prototype of the rupture-prone plaque contains a large, soft, lipid-rich necrotic core with a thin and inflamed fibrous cap, so-called thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) ( Figure 1 ).3,4 Other common features include expansive remodelling, large plaque size, plaque haemorrhage ...

Numerical investigation of atherosclerotic plaque rupture using optical coherence tomography imaging and XFEM [PDF]

, 2018
Myocardial infarction contributes to most fatalities in which atherosclerotic plaque disruption is the underlying pathology. From the mechanics view point, the pulsatile blood flow in the arteries resembles a fatigue environment and generates stresses ...

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

The 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 ...
