Computed Tomography Biomarkers of Vulnerable Coronary Plaques [PDF]

Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine, 2016
An unstable plaque has a high risk of thrombosis and at the same time for a fast progression of the stenosis degree. Also, “high-risk plaque” and “thrombosis-prone plaque” are used as synonym terms for characterization of a vulnerable plaque. The imaging

Insulin resistance, vulnerable plaque and stroke risk in patients with carotid artery stenosis. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Insulin resistance (IR) is linked to both the vulnerable plaque and the stroke risk. However, the precise extent of this correlation and its impact on stroke risk in carotid artery stenosis patients remain unclear.

Imaging Inflammation in Patients and Animals: Focus on PET Imaging the Vulnerable Plaque. [PDF]

Cells, 2021
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) describes a range of conditions associated with the rupture of high-risk or vulnerable plaque. Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is associated with many changes in its microenvironment which could potentially cause rapid ...

Circulating protein biomarkers and their association with vulnerable plaque characteristics - a PROSPECT II substudy. [PDF]

Int J Cardiol Cardiovasc Risk Prev
Background: In the PROSPECT-II study, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was used to characterize atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries.

Vulnerable Plaque in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: Identification, Importance, and Management. [PDF]

US Cardiol, 2022
MI is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Coronary artery thrombosis is the final pathologic feature of the most cases of acute MI primarily caused by atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. The concept of vulnerable plaque has evolved

Analysis of carotid vulnerable plaque MRI high-risk features and clinical risk factors associated with concomitant acute cerebral infarction. [PDF]

BMC Cardiovasc Disord, 2023
Background This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the high-risk characteristics of high-resolution MRI carotid vulnerable plaques and the clinical risk factors and concomitant acute cerebral infarction (ACI).

Inflammation mediates the relationship between cardiometabolic index and vulnerable plaque in patients with acute coronary syndrome. [PDF]

Lipids Health Dis
Background As a novel indicator reflecting metabolic status and visceral adiposity distribution, the cardiometabolic index (CMI) has gained attention in cardiovascular risk stratification. This investigation employed optical coherence tomography (OCT) to
