Association Between Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque Calcification and Intraplaque Hemorrhage
Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque in carotid arteries is a major cause of cerebrovascular events, such as transient ischemia attack and ischemic stroke. Previous studies have shown that compositional characteristics, particularly intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) and lipid-rich necrotic core, in carotid artery plaques play a key role in plaque vulnerability. In particular, it is increasingly evidenc...
متن کاملAssociation between carotid artery and abdominal aortic aneurysm plaque
Background: The correlation between AAA and carotid artery plaque is unknown and a common etiology and pathophysiology is suspected by some authors. The purpose of this work was to explore the association between the features of a) carotid artery plaque and b) abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) plaques using multi-detector-CT Angiography (MDCTA). Methods: Forty-eight (32 males; median age 72 years...
متن کاملAssociation between carotid artery plaque type and cerebral microbleeds.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CMBs have become increasingly recognized with the widespread use of MR imaging techniques that are sensitive to iron deposits. The purpose of this study was to correlate the presence of CMBs and carotid plaque characteristics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy consecutive patients (47 men; 23 women; mean age, 65 years) were prospectively analyzed. Carotid arteries were studi...
متن کاملAssociation Between 3\'APOB-VNTR Polymorphism and Plasma Lipid Profiles in Type 2 Diabetes Patients
Objective: Apolipoprotein B (APOB) plays an important role in the metabolism of cholesterol and impairment in its function can lead to cholesterol accumulation in the pancreatic islets. It can then reduce insulin secretion and lead to Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of 3chr('39')APOB-VNTR polymorphism with plasma lipid profiles in T2DM indivi...
متن کاملAssociation between carotid artery plaque ulceration and plaque composition evaluated with multidetector CT angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Symptomatic carotid artery plaque ulceration is associated with distinct plaque components such as a large lipid-rich necrotic core (LR-NC) in ischemic stroke patients with a ≥50% carotid stenosis. We evaluated the associations between carotid artery plaque ulceration and plaque characteristics in ischemic stroke patients with ≥50% stenosis, as well as in those with a low...
