Advanced ultrasound methods in assessment of carotid plaque instability: a prospective multimodal study

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2020
Background A significant proportion of ischemic strokes are caused by emboli from atherosclerotic, unstable carotid artery plaques. The selection of patients for endarterectomy in current clinical practice is primarily based on the degree of carotid ...

Association Between Triglyceride–Glucose Index and Carotid Plaque Stability in Different Glycemic Status: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background The triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a reliable marker of insulin resistance. However, its value in patients with carotid plaque stability remains unclear.

Ultrasound measurements of carotid intima-media thickness and plaque in HIV-infected patients on the Mediterranean diet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Aim To evaluate the influence of food habits, specifically adherence to the Mediterranean diet, on carotid intimamedia thickness (CIMT) and the presence of plaques in HIV-infected patients taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) and non-HIV-infected ...

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.

Length of carotid stenosis predicts peri-procedural stroke or death and restenosis in patients randomized to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BackgroundThe anatomy of carotid stenosis may influence the outcome of endovascular treatment or carotid endarterectomy. Whether anatomy favors one treatment over the other in terms of safety or efficacy has not been investigated in randomized trials ...

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from the CHARGE consortium identifies common variants associated with carotid intima media thickness and plaque [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and plaque determined by ultrasonography are established measures of subclinical atherosclerosis that each predicts future cardiovascular disease events.

Aspirin inhibits human telomerase activation in unstable carotid plaques

open access: yesExperimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2013
The activation of telomerase in unstable plaques is an important factor in atherosclerosis, and may be predictive of the risk of cerebrovascular diseases. Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is a subunit of telomerase that is essential for telomerase activation.

Increased Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Activity in Unstable Carotid Plaques [PDF]

open access: yesStroke, 2000
Background and Purpose —Acute disruption of atherosclerotic plaques precedes the onset of clinical syndromes, and studies have implicated a role for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in this process. The aim of this study was to establish the character, level, and expression of MMPs in carotid plaques and to correlate this with ...

Microvascular Damage Is Associated With Carotid Wall Structural Changes in Systemic Sclerosis: A Capillaroscopy and Ultrasound‐Based Observational Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...
