Shear stress, inflammation and Atherosclerosis

Artery Research, 2010
Background: Atherosclerosis is the disease with one of the largest mortalities of the Western world. An important cause of this high mortality rate is rupture of atherosclerotic plaques and subsequent total blockage of the vessel by thrombus.

ECGDetect: Detecting Ischemia via Deep Learning [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Coronary artery disease(CAD) is the most common type of heart disease and the leading cause of death worldwide[1]. A progressive state of this disease marked by plaque rupture and clot formation in the coronary arteries, also known as an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), is a condition of the heart associated with sudden, reduced blood flow caused due to ...

Increased Vascular Permeability Measured With an Albumin-Binding Magnetic Resonance Contrast Agent Is a Surrogate Marker of Rupture-Prone Atherosclerotic Plaque

Circulation Cardiovascular Imaging, 2016
Background—Compromised structural integrity of the endothelium and higher microvessel density increase vascular permeability. We investigated whether vascular permeability measured in vivo by magnetic resonance imaging using the albumin-binding contrast ...

Double‐vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (double‐VISTA) with connective tissue graft for treating multiple gingival recessions: 2‐year follow‐up

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gingival recession has a multifactorial etiology, involving various predisposing and precipitating factors. Non‐carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are often associated with gingival recession and pose challenges due to their complex pathodynamics.

Elastin fragmentation in atherosclerotic mice leads to intraplaque neovascularization, plaque rupture, myocardial infarction, stroke, and sudden death

European Heart Journal, 2014
Our study underscores the importance of elastin fragmentation in the vessel wall as an accelerator of atherosclerosis with enhanced inflammation and increased neovascularization, thereby promoting the development of unstable plaques that eventually may ...

Coronary Plaque Characteristics Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography and Plasma Lipoprotein(a) Levels in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, but its influence on plaque characteristics at optical coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation is not fully understood. Aims This study seeks to explore the impact of Lp(a) levels on plaque morphology as assessed by OCT in a very high‐risk subset of patients ...

Sex‐specific and hormone‐related differences in vascular remodelling in atherosclerosis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Atherosclerosis, a lipid‐driven inflammatory disease, is the main underlying cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) both in men and women. Sex‐related dimorphisms regarding CVDs and atherosclerosis were observed since more than a decade ago.

The Use of Biomarkers for the Early Detection of Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaques and Vulnerable Patients. A Review

Journal of Cardiovascular Emergencies, 2016
Acute coronary syndromes represent the most severe consequences of atherosclerosis, most often triggered by the rupture of a coronary plaque, which, for various reasons, has become unstable.

Local critical stress correlates better than global maximum stress with plaque morphological features linked to atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability: an in vivo multi-patient study

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2009
Background It is believed that mechanical stresses play an important role in atherosclerotic plaque rupture process and may be used for better plaque vulnerability assessment and rupture risk predictions. Image-based plaque models have been introduced in

Impact of Diabetes on Long‐Term Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Coronary Bifurcation Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well‐known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases (CAD). Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as PCI for bifurcation lesions often yields poor outcomes, especially in DM patients.
