Novel CT-based imaging markers for high-risk coronary plaques.
A large proportion of patients with suspected coronary artery disease who are referred for coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) have coronary atherosclerotic lesions that do not cause significant anatomical luminal obstruction. These nonobstructive coronary artery lesions provide incremental prognostic information over the presence of obstructive lesions and clinical variables. 5 Howe...
متن کاملCharacteristics of high-risk coronary plaques identified by computed tomographic angiography and associated prognosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
To clarify the potential role of coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) in characterizing and prognosticating high-risk coronary plaques. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to compare high-risk vs. low-risk plaques and culprit vs. non-culprit lesions in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) vs. stable angina (SA). High-risk plaques were defined by at least one ...
متن کاملA histomorphometric study of dental implants with different surface characteristics
PURPOSE One of the major keys to achieve successful osseointegration of the implant is its surface properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the bone response to dental implants with different surface characteristics using the rabbit tibia model. Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) coated, anodic oxidized and turned (control) surfaces were compared. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy two implant...
متن کاملHigh neutrophil numbers in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques are associated with characteristics of rupture-prone lesions.
OBJECTIVE To score the number of plaque neutrophils and relate the score to plaque morphology and inflammatory status. METHODS AND RESULTS Neutrophils are inflammatory cells with tissue destruction capabilities that have been found at the site of an atherosclerotic plaque rupture or erosion. Poor evidence exists for neutrophil infiltration in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques, and its ass...
متن کاملPrevalence and Characteristics of Carotid Artery High‐Risk Atherosclerotic Plaques in Chinese Patients With Cerebrovascular Symptoms: A Chinese Atherosclerosis Risk Evaluation II Study
BACKGROUND Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture is an important source of ischemic stroke. However, the prevalence of high-risk plaque (HRP) defined as plaques with luminal surface disruption, a lipid-rich necrotic core occupying >40% of the wall, or intraplaque hemorrhage in Chinese population remains unclear. This study uses carotid magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) to investigate HRP preva...
