Unstable coronary plaque and its relation to coronary calcium.
Coronary calcium is intimately associated with coronary atherosclerotic plaque development. The use of electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) for accurate quantitative measurements has led to an increased interest in understanding the clinical importance of coronary calcium, particularly in terms of the ability to identify unstable coronary plaques that underlie the clinical acute coronary sy...
متن کاملC-reactive protein in unstable angina pectoris and its relation to coronary angiographic severity and diffusion scores of coronary lesions.
OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) and the severity and diffusion of coronary artery lesions in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and the independent association of CRP with this clinical situation. METHODS This cross-sectional, observational study included 50 patients. Classification by Braunwald was used for UAP. The severity and diffus...
متن کاملLocalization of Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein and Its Relation to Plaque Morphology in Human Coronary Artery
OBJECTIVES Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) plays a key role in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. However, its localization in human coronary arterial wall is not well understood. The present study was performed to visualize deposition sites and patterns of native oxLDL and their relation to plaque morphology in human coronary artery. METHODS Evans blue dye (EB) elicits a viol...

15 صفحه اولIn Vivo Estimation of Coronary Mechanical Wall Deformation and its Relation to Plaque Formation
When a coronary artery moves, the wall has to change shape. Thus in each cardiac cycle some regions of the wall contract and some dilate. The stress on the coronary wall during ventricular contractions can be calculated by tracking elements in the arterial wall throughout the cycle and calculating their deformation. The method employs a 3D reconstruction process to generate model input for a st...
