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 کاملCorrelation of Atherosclerotic Plaque Compositions in Coronary and Carotid Arteries
Introduction: Atherosclerosis has been shown to be a systematic disease which often involves multiple vascular beds, such as coronary and carotid arteries . The size of carotid lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC) and presence of intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) were demonstrated to be high risk features due to their correlations with neurovascular events . For coronary atherosclerosis, previous studies...
متن کاملAssociation Between Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque Calcification and Intraplaque Hemorrhage: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.
OBJECTIVE Carotid intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) is associated with cardiovascular events. Calcification, which frequently accompanies IPH, may play a role in IPH occurrence. In this study, we aimed to investigate the associations between calcification characteristics and IPH in carotid plaques. APPROACH AND RESULTS One hundred seventeen patients with cerebrovascular symptoms and carotid plaque...
متن کاملAngiogenesis in atherosclerotic plaque obtained from carotid endarterectomy: association between symptomatology and plaque morphology.
Carotid plaque with hemorrhage leads to cerebral embolism and ischemic stroke. Plaque angiogenesis and angiogenetic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are critical in the progression of atherosclerotic carotid plaque and intraplaque hemorrhage. The correlation between plaque angiogenesis and presence of clinical symptoms was studied in 41 specimens obtained during carotid...
متن کاملRelationship between Watershed Infarcts and Recent Intra Plaque Haemorrhage in Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque
OBJECTIVE Watershed infarcts (WSI) are thought to result from hemodynamic mechanism, but studies have suggested that microemboli from unstable carotid plaques may distribute preferentially in watershed areas, i.e., between two cerebral arterial territories. Intraplaque haemorrhage (IPH) is an emerging marker of plaque instability and microembolic activity. We assessed the association between WS...
