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

Inflammation and plaque vulnerability [PDF]
Journal of Internal Medicine, 2015 AbstractAtherosclerosis is a maladaptive, nonresolving chronic inflammatory disease that occurs at sites of blood flow disturbance. The disease usually remains silent until a breakdown of integrity at the arterial surface triggers the formation of a thrombus.

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 ...

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

Finding the Vulnerable Plaque [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 2010 AbstractAt a recent Transcatheter Therapeutics meeting in San Francisco the PROSPECT Trial was presented by Dr. Greg Stone. Prospect stands for Providing Regional Observations to Study Predictors of Events in the Coronary Tree. This was a natural history study of atherosclerosis using multi‐modality intracoronary imaging to prospectively identify ...

Basic aspects of plaque vulnerability [PDF]
Heart, 2003 The treatment of acute coronary syndromes, including acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina, has been one of the most successful contributions in the last 20 years to the improvement of medicine. However, we are still unable to predict them, and therefore to prevent occurrence of acute myocardial infarction and/or death.

Vulnerable Plaque, Characteristics, Detection, and Potential Therapies [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2019 Plaque development and rupture are hallmarks of atherosclerotic vascular disease. Despite current therapeutic developments, there is an unmet necessity in the prevention of atherosclerotic vascular disease. It remains a challenge to determine at an early

Vulnerable Plaque Inside Stent
JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2011 it has been proposed that nonhealing endothelium after percutaneous coronary intervention may allow for insudation of lipids superficial to the stent strut level, especially when the underlying plaque carried a large necrotic core.
