Progression of carotid plaque volume predicts cardiovascular events.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid ultrasound evaluation of intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque burden has been used for risk stratification and for evaluation of antiatherosclerotic therapies. Increasing evidence indicates that measuring plaque burden is superior to measuring IMT for both purposes. We compared progression/regression of IMT, total plaque area (TPA), and total plaque volume (TPV...
متن کاملThree-dimensional carotid ultrasound plaque texture predicts vascular events.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid ultrasound atherosclerosis measurements, including those of the arterial wall and plaque, provide a way to monitor patients at risk of vascular events. Our objective was to examine carotid ultrasound plaque texture measurements and the change in carotid plaque texture during 1 year in patients at risk of events and to compare these with measurements of plaque volu...
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 کاملCarotid plaque volume in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy
BACKGROUND The main indication for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is severity of carotid artery stenosis, even though most strokes in carotid disease are embolic. The relationship between carotid plaque volume (CPV) and symptoms of cerebral ischaemia, and the measurement of CPV by minimally invasive tomographic ultrasound imaging, were investigated. METHODS The volume of the endarterectomy spec...
متن کاملContralateral artery enlargement predicts carotid plaque progression based on machine learning algorithm models in apoE−/− mice
BACKGROUND This study specifically focused on anatomical MRI characterization of the low shear stress-induced atherosclerotic plaque in mice. We used machine learning algorithms to analyze multiple correlation factors of plaque to generate predictive models and to find the predictive factor for vulnerable plaque. METHODS Branches of the left carotid artery in apoE-/- and C57BL/6J mice were li...
