Plaque stabilizing effects of apolipoprotein A-IV
Atherosclerosis, 2016Apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV, the third most abundant HDL-associated protein, is atheroprotective and shares similar properties as apoA-I. We have reported previously that apoA-I, the most abundant apolipoprotein in HDL, inhibits plaque disruption in a mouse model. We aimed at examining the effects of apoA-IV on markers of plaque stability in vivo.Plaques

Update in Therapeutic Approaches to Plaque Stabilization
Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2014Increasing pathological insights have highlighted the role of plaque instability in the pathogenesis of acute ischemic syndromes. These studies have identified a specific plaque phenotype, characterized by large burden, expansive arterial wall remodeling, and greater composition of lipid, inflammatory, and necrotic material, as the disease most likely ...

Plaque Stability and the Southern European Paradox
Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2013Differences between European countries in coronary heart disease mortality were initially described in the 20th century, and albeit less dramatic than first reported, these differences remain substantial. Three main hypotheses have been proposed to explain the so-called "Mediterranean paradox": a) underestimation of coronary heart disease mortality due

Plaque Stability and Carotid Stenting
2009Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is increasingly being performed for the treatment of severely stenotic carotid disease [1–5]. Despite, this growing acceptance, the recently published data of the Eva-3S trial [6], performed in France, and the SPACE trial [7] in Germany failed to prove superiority of CAS over CEA.

MRI plaque tissue characterization and assessment of plaque stability.
Studies in health technology and informatics, 2016This chapter reviews current MRI techniques to differentiate stable versus high risk atherosclerosis and discusses the development of non-invasive MR imaging techniques to characterize atherosclerotic plaques. Tissue specific MR signal features will be described according to histo-pathological evaluation standards and comprehensive imaging protocol for

Plaque stabilization: the role of lipid lowering
International Journal of Cardiology, 2000The unstable atheroma characteristically has a thin, eccentric fibrous cap and a large necrotic core of lipid and cellular debris. This plaque configuration is particularly unstable because large mechanical stresses develop in the thinnest portions of the fibrosis cap over the lipid pool.
