Thrombus in the Internal Carotid Artery Complicating an “Unstable” Atheromatous Plaque [PDF]

Circulation, 2003
A 64-year-old man was admitted to the stroke unit after brief episodes of clumsiness and numbness of the left hand. Neurological examination disclosed a left hemisensory syndrome. Brain MRI revealed a subacute ischemic infarction in the right frontoparietal region.

Common carotid intima media thickness and ankle-brachial pressure index correlate with local but not global atheroma burden:a cross sectional study using whole body magnetic resonance angiography [PDF]

, 2014
Common carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) are used as surrogate marker of atherosclerosis, and have been shown to correlate with arterial stiffness, however their correlation with global atherosclerotic burden ...

Contributions of vascular ageing to late‐onset Alzheimer's disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is an age‐related disease that is strongly associated with vascular risk factors and cerebrovascular impairments. As such, changes in the vasculature with advancing age likely contribute to LOAD, but the mechanisms underlying these contributions remain incompletely understood.

Reciprocal regulation of eNOS, H2S and CO-synthesizing enzymes in human atheroma: Correlation with plaque stability and effects of simvastatin

Redox Biology, 2017
The molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying plaque destabilization remain obscure. We sought to elucidate the correlation between NO, H2S and CO-generating enzymes, nitro-oxidative stress and plaque stability in carotid arteries.

The Hemodynamic Trap: Fetal‐Type Posterior Cerebral Artery and Occult PICA Aneurysms

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Hemodynamic and structural asymmetry of the vertebrobasilar system. (A) Axial Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) demonstrating a right‐sided fetal‐type posterior cerebral artery (fPCA). The right PCA arises directly from the internal carotid artery (red circle), with an absent P1 segment. (B) Coronal MIP reveals striking inflow asymmetry, characterized

Unstable carotid artery plaque: new insights and controversies in diagnostics and treatment

Croatian Medical Journal, 2016
Cardiovascular disease is estimated to be the leading cause of death, globally causing 14 million deaths each year. Stroke remains a massive public health problem and there is an increasing need for better strategies for the prevention and treatment of this disease.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
NETs as integrated effectors in the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease continuum. Activated neutrophils release NETs that promote endothelial injury, thrombo‐inflammation, and plaque destabilization throughout atherosclerotic disease progression. Created with BioRender.com.

The role of obesity in carotid plaque instability: interaction with age, gender, and cardiovascular risk factors

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2018
Background In the last decade, several studies have reported an unexpected and seemingly paradoxical inverse correlation between BMI and incidence of cardiovascular diseases.

The role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in the pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 19, Page 5732-5751, October 2026.
Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading global cause of death, driven by complex mechanisms, in which chronic inflammation plays a central role. Inflammatory pathways contribute to all stages of CVD, from endothelial dysfunction and plaque formation to erosion, rupture and myocardial injury.
