Carotid plaque, arterial stiffness gradient, and remodeling in hypertension.
The analysis of plaque mechanics along the longitudinal axis (bending strain) may provide useful information because repetitive bending strain of an atherosclerotic plaque can fatigue the wall material and result in plaque rupture. Whether essential hypertension is associated with a specific pattern of bending strain has not yet been determined. The study included 92 patients with an atheroscle...
متن کاملPlaque burden, arterial remodeling and plaque vulnerability: determined by systemic factors?
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to determine whether arterial remodeling and plaque vulnerability are influenced by systemic factors. BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic luminal narrowing is caused by gradual plaque growth and arterial remodeling. In the acute phase, luminal narrowing may be accelerated by acute thrombus formation, usually precipitated by rupture of a vulnerable plaque. METHODS F...
متن کاملInflammation and plaque vulnerability.
Atherosclerosis is a maladaptive, nonresolving chronic inflammatory disease that occurs at sites of blood flow disturbance. The disease usually remains silent until a breakdown of integrity at the arterial surface triggers the formation of a thrombus. By occluding the lumen, the thrombus or emboli detaching from it elicits ischaemic symptoms that may be life-threatening. Two types of surface da...

متن کاملCholesterol crystals piercing the arterial plaque and intima trigger local and systemic inflammation.
The response to arterial wall injury is an inflammatory process, which over time becomes integral to the development of atherosclerosis and subsequent plaque instability. However, the underlying injurious agent, critical to this process, has not received much attention. In this review, a model of plaque rupture is hypothesized with two stages of inflammatory activity. In stage I (cholesterol cr...
