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 ...

A score including ADAM17 substrates correlates to recurring cardiovascular event in subjects with atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2015
Atherosclerosis disease is a leading cause for mortality and morbidity. The narrowing/rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is accountable for acute cardiovascular events.

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.

Aged garlic extract reduces low attenuation plaque in coronary arteries of patients with diabetes: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. [PDF]

, 2020
Several previous studies have demonstrated that aged garlic extract (AGE) inhibits the progression of coronary artery calcification and non-calcified plaque (NCP) in the general population.

Intravascular palpography for high-risk vulnerable plaque assessment. [PDF]

, 2003
Item does not contain fulltextBACKGROUND: The composition of an atherosclerotic plaque is considered more important than the degree of stenosis. An unstable lesion may rupture and cause an acute thrombotic reaction.

Comparison of multilayer and single-layer coronary plaque models on stress/strain calculations based on optical coherence tomography images

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Mechanical stress and strain conditions are closely related to atherosclerotic plaque progression and rupture and have been under intensive investigations in recent years.

Quantification of atherosclerotic plaque volume in coronary arteries by computed tomographic angiography in subjects with and without diabetes. [PDF]

, 2020
BackgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is considered a cardiovascular risk factor. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence and volume of coronary artery plaque in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) vs. those without DM.MethodsThis study recruited

Geographical predisposition influences on the distribution and tissue characterisation of eccentric coronary plaques in non-branching coronary arteries: cross-sectional study of coronary plaques analysed by intravascular ultrasound

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2016
Background We investigated the influence of geographical predisposition on the spatial distribution and composition of coronary plaques. Methods Thirty coronary arteries were evaluated.

Computed Tomography Biomarkers of Vulnerable Coronary Plaques

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
