Identifying the percentage of plaque compositions could help surgeons to make a precise decision for their patients' treatment protocol. This study aims to distinguish between stable and unstable plaque by defining the relationship between plaque composition and arterial waveform non-invasively. An in-...
Although plaque burden and remodeling index were similar, minimal lumen area was smaller in baPWV of greater than or equal to 1600 cm/s group (P=0.039); and lesion length was longer in the baPWV of greater than or equal to 1600 cm/s group (P=0.033). VH-IVUS analysis of coronary ...
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) leading to renal artery stenosis and hypertension is one of the most common treatable causes of secondary hypertension. However, frequently it can be difficult to judge the anatomical severity of a stenotic lesion with various noninvasive and invasive imaging modalities. ...
Coronary artery disease is very frequent and responsible for half of the death in patients with peripheral arterial disease. Clinical and electrocardiographic cardiac check-up must be systematic. The choice of coronary investigations mus... CL Feuvre,A Vacheron - 《Journal Des Maladies Vasculaires》...
CIGARETTE SMOKING, PROXIMAL CORONARY ARTERIAL PLAQUE COMPOSITION, AN RISK OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND DEATH: A STUDY OF NONDIABETIC MEN AND WOMEN IN THE MULTINATIONAL CONFIRM REGISTRY (CORONARY CT ANGIOGRAPHY EVALUATION FOR CLINICAL OUTCOMES: AN INTERNATIONAL MULTICENTER REGISTRY)...

(increased blood fat disease—high triglyceride, low HDL cholesterol and high LDL cholesterol—plaque formation on arterial walls); increased blood pressure; insulin resistance or glucose hypersensitivity; a prothrombotic state (e.g., high fibrinogen or PAI-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor-1) in ...
reduce the recruitment of leukocytes to the arterial wall[1]), inflammatory diseases and cancer[2]. For instance ω3PUFAs have been proposed as chemopreventive agents or adjuvant agents in association with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in specific tumors[3]. Despite the high number of studies repor...
Blockade of keratinocyte-derived chemokine inhibits endothelial recovery and enhances plaque formation after arterial injury in ApoE-deficient mice. METHODS AND RESULTS: Expression of KC was detected by immunohistochemistry in carotid arteries of apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE-/-) mice not earlier than....
We also assessed coronary plaque characteristics of 204 patients using integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS). Results MACE occurred more frequently in patients with both MetS and CKD (51.4%) than in the other groups, during the follow-up period (log-rank p < 0.001). In the...
