Beyond the Lumen: Molecular Imaging to Unmask Vulnerable Coronary Plaques

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Vulnerable coronary atherosclerotic plaque involves a dynamic pathophysiologic process within and surrounding an atheromatous plaque in coronary artery intima. The process drastically increases the risk of plaque rupture and is clinically responsible for

Isolation, culturing and gene expression profiling of inner mass cells from stable and vulnerable carotid atherosclerotic plaques.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The connective tissue components that form the atherosclerotic plaque body are produced by the plaque inner mass cells (PIMC), located inside the plaque.

Classification of carotid atherosclerotic plaque components using T2 mapping technique from magnetic resonance imaging

Journal of Associated Medical Sciences, 2014
Introduction: Vulnerable plaque or soft plaque potentially increases risk of stroke. Accurate plaque characterization is a demand for treatments. To date, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using multiweighted images, T1 weighted (T1W), T2 weighted (T2E ...
