Expression of fibromodulin in carotid atherosclerotic plaques is associated with diabetes and cerebrovascular events.
AIMS The small leucine-rich proteoglycans fibromodulin and lumican are functionally related extracellular matrix proteins involved in the regulation of collagen fiber formation. Fibromodulin-deficient apolipoprotein E-null mice have decreased vascular retention of lipids and reduced development of atherosclerosis suggesting that fibromodulin may influence the disease process. The aim of the pre...
متن کاملCerebrovascular events in individuals with asymptomatic carotid disease.
Cerebrovascular Events in Individuals With Asymptomatic Carotid Disease To the Editor: I read with great interest the article by Goessens and colleagues about the prognosis of asymptomatic carotid stenosis in patients with manifest arterial disease.1 I concur with their statement that asymptomatic carotid stenosis is a predictor of vascular events including vascular death, and I also agree with...
متن کاملCarotid plaque neovascularization and hemorrhage detected by MR imaging are associated with recent cerebrovascular ischemic events.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pathologic studies suggest that neovascularization and hemorrhage are important features of plaque vulnerability for disruption. Our aim was to determine the associations of these features in carotid plaques with previous cerebrovascular ischemic events by using high-resolution CE-MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-seven patients (36 men; mean age 72.5 ± 10 years) underwe...
متن کاملcardiovascular risk factors and nutritional intake are not associated with ultrasound-defi ned increased carotid intima media thickness in individuals without a history of cardiovascular events
background: carotid ultrasound appears to be useful in the assessment of cardiovascular risk. in this study, we have assessed the carotid intima-media thickness (cimt) in a group of individuals without a history of cardiovascular events. methods: a sample of 431subjects (189 [43.9%] males and 242 [56.1%] females) was obtained from an urban population using a stratifi ed-cluster method in mashha...
متن کاملEccentric stenosis of the carotid artery associated with ipsilateral cerebrovascular events.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Eccentric stenosis of the coronary artery is associated with plaque disruption and acute coronary syndrome. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether eccentric stenosis of the carotid artery contributes to cerebrovascular events. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 6859 patients with vascular diseases who underwent duplex carotid ultrasonography, we studied 512 int...
