Evaluation of aspirin resistance and the presence of unstable carotid plaque in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy

Kardiologia Polska, 2015
Antiplatelet therapy using low dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is routinely recommended in patients undergoing surgical or endovascular treatment of carotid artery disease. Despite this treatment, a significant proportion of postoperative complications may result from inadequate response to antiplatelet therapy which may contribute to the development ...

Virtual Histology Analysis of Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque: Plaque Composition at the Minimum Lumen Site and of the Entire Carotid Plaque [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND Virtual Histology intravascular ultrasound (VH IVUS) volumetric analysis (analysis of the entire plaque responsible for stenosis) has been used for carotid plaque diagnosis.

Humanin, a cytoprotective peptide, is expressed in carotid atherosclerotic [corrected] plaques in humans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The mechanism of atherosclerotic plaque progression leading to instability, rupture, and ischemic manifestation involves oxidative stress and apoptosis. Humanin (HN) is a newly emerging endogenously expressed cytoprotective peptide.

Cross‐Sectional Study of the PREValence of Erectile DysfunctIon in the Arteriopathic Population (PREVEDI)

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although the association between erectile dysfunction (ED) and cardiovascular disease is well established, its prevalence in patients with atherosclerosis remains poorly defined. Objectives To evaluate ED prevalence, severity, and associated risk factors (RFs) in patients with atherosclerotic disease.

The Safety of Protected Carotid Artery Stenting in Patients with Unstable Plaque on Carotid High-Resolution MR Imaging

대한영상의학회지, 2018
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the safety of the carotid artery stenting (CAS) procedure, using an embolic protection device which is based on the presence of unstable plaques on carotid MR imaging in patients who presented with ...

MD‐1 Deficiency Mitigates Atherosclerosis by Inhibiting NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation via cGAS‐STING Dependent Pathway in Macrophages

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
MD‐1 is induced and activated in macrophages. The activated MD‐1 subsequently promotes the cGAS‐STING‐TBK1‐IRF3 signalling pathway to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, and subsequently increases pro‐inflammatory macrophage polarisation and decreases plaque stability to accelerate the development of atherosclerosis.

Identification of Differential Protein Expression Associated with Development of Unstable Human Carotid Plaques [PDF]

The American Journal of Pathology, 2006
Rupture-prone unstable arterial plaques develop concomitantly with the appearance of intraplaque hemorrhage and tissue ulceration, in association with deregulation of smooth muscle cell mitogenesis and leakage of newly formed blood vessels. Using microarray technology, we have identified novel protein deregulation associated with unstable carotid ...

Glycated albumin: An old yet new biomarker in people with diabetes and the potential for novel applications

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycated albumin (GA), the product of nonenzymatic glycation of serum albumin, reflects the mean glucose levels over the preceding approximately 2 weeks, bridging the gap between daily self‐monitoring of blood glucose and the roughly 3‐month window covered by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurement.

The detection of carotid plaque rupture caused by intraplaque hemorrhage by serial high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging: a case report. [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND: Plaque rupture is believed to be a critical event that leads to thromboembolic complications in atherosclerotic carotid artery disease. Intraplaque hemorrhage can also cause fibrous cap disruption and may be related to the progression of ...
