Atherosclerotic carotid plaque composition: a 3T and 7T MRI-histology correlation study [PDF]

, 2016
Background and Purpose Carotid artery atherosclerotic plaque composition may influence plaque stability and risk of thromboembolic events, and non-invasive plaque imaging may therefore permit risk stratification for clinical management.

Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Analysis of Calcium Content to Identify Non-culprit Vulnerable Plaques in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundAside from the culprit plaque, the presence of vulnerable plaques in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may be associated with future cardiac events.

Single-cell atlas reveals different immune environments between stable and vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionRegardless of the degree of stenosis, vulnerable plaque is an important cause of ischemic stroke and thrombotic complications. The changes of the immune microenvironment within plaques seem to be an important factor affecting the ...

Imaging Carotid Atherosclerosis Plaque Ulceration: Comparison of Advanced Imaging Modalities and Recent Developments. [PDF]

, 2016
Atherosclerosis remains the leading cause of long-term mortality and morbidity worldwide, despite remarkable advancement in its management. Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques are principally responsible for thromboembolic events in various arterial ...

Folate Receptor–Targeted Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography to Detect Activated Macrophages in Atherosclerosis: Can It Distinguish Vulnerable from Stable Atherosclerotic Plaques?

Molecular Imaging, 2014
The need for noninvasive imaging to distinguish stable from vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques is evident. Activated macrophages play a role in atherosclerosis and express folate receptor folate receptor β (FR-β).

Orthopedic surgery increases atherosclerotic lesions and necrotic core area in ApoE-/- mice [PDF]

, 2016
Background and aims Observational studies show a peak incidence of cardiovascular events after major surgery. For example, the risk of myocardial infarction increases 25-fold early after hip replacement.

In Search of Vulnerable Plaque [PDF]

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2012
Between 1970 and 2010, the number of cardiovascular deaths per 100 000 persons in the United States has fallen from ≈450 to ≈125, a reduction >70%.1 This marked decline in cardiovascular mortality represents one of the true success stories of modern medicine.

Improved detection of molecular markers of atherosclerotic plaques using sub-millimeter PET imaging [PDF]

, 2020
Since atherosclerotic plaques are small and sparse, their non-invasive detection via PET imaging requires both highly specific radiotracers as well as imaging systems with high sensitivity and resolution.
