National Cholesterol Awareness Month Article Plaque Rupture and Thrombosis Are Reduced by Lowering Cholesterol Levels and Crystallization With Ezetimibe and Are Correlated With Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography
Objective—This study evaluated effects of lipid lowering with ezetimibe on plaque burden and associated cholesterol crystallization and inflammation in a rabbit model of plaque disruption and thrombosis. Methods and Results—Atherosclerotic rabbits (Group I, n 10 without; Group II, n 12 with ezetimibe, 1 mg/kg per day) were pharmacologically triggered for plaque disruption. Fluorodeoxyglucose po...

متن کاملSystemic atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability in patients with Coronary Artery Disease with a single Whole Body [FDG]PET-CT scan
Objective(s): Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbimortality with over half cardiovascular events occurring in the asymptomatic population by traditional risk stratification. This preliminary study aimed to evaluate systemic plaque vulnerability in patients with prior Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) with a single Whole Body [FDG] PET-CT scan in terms of plaq...
متن کاملNoninvasive detection and localization of vulnerable plaque and arterial thrombosis with computed tomography angiography/positron emission tomography.
BACKGROUND It has been shown that plaque uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose is proportional to macrophage density. We tested the hypothesis that arterial thrombosis occurs in areas with high fluorodeoxyglucose uptake and that computed tomography angiography (CTA) can detect thrombi in vessels. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty New Zealand White rabbits were studied before and after atherosclerosis inducti...

Objective(s): To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of positron emission mammography (PEM) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for small breast tumors of less than 20 mm in size.Methods: The study was conducted on a total of 100 subjects (i.e., 50 patients with pathologically proven breast cancer and 50 normal cases of medical screening). The total number of tumors wa...
