Human Artery Plaque Progression
Acknowledgement I would primarily like to thank my advisor Prof. Dalin Tang, Dept. of Mathematics, WPI for his guidance throughout this project. Thanks to his continued support and with his permission, I have contributed as an undergraduate research assistant to his research project and as a co-author to several peer-reviewed conference papers and a journal paper (J. Biomechanics). Seattle for ...
متن کاملPathophysiology of atherosclerosis plaque progression.
Atherosclerotic plaque rupture with luminal thrombosis is the most common mechanism responsible for the majority of acute coronary syndromes and sudden coronary death. The precursor lesion of plaque rupture is thought to be a thin cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) or "vulnerable plaque". TCFA is characterised by a necrotic core with an overlying thin fibrous cap (≤65 μm) that is infiltrated by macrophag...
متن کاملHistological composition and progression of carotid plaque
BACKGROUND To analyse histological composition and progression of carotid plaque. METHODS Thirty-one patients (22 males, mean age 68.03 +/- 7.3 years) admitted for carotid endarterectomy for extracranial high-grade internal carotid artery stenosis (>or= 70% luminal narrowing) were enrolled. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to symptomatology (group I, 17 symptomatic patients; ...
متن کاملDirection of Plaque Progression is a Significant Predictor in Plaque Vulnerability: An Evaluation by MRI
Introduction Vascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability in the United States. A great deal of evidence shows that atherosclerotic plaque components are a decisive factor determining plaque vulnerability. The rapid development of high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology has enabled the use of gadolinium-based contrast enhanced post contrast T1-weighted image...
متن کاملPrediction of high-risk plaque development and plaque progression with the carotid atherosclerosis score.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this prospective study was to evaluate the carotid atherosclerosis score (CAS) for predicting the development of high-risk plaque features and plaque burden progression. BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that carotid intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) and a disrupted luminal surface (DLS), as identified by using magnetic resonance imaging, are associated with greater ris...
