Aggressive lipid-lowering is more effective than moderate lipid-lowering treatment in carotid plaque stabilization - ScienceDirect Vascular calcification inhibitors, known osteopontin (OPN) and osteoprotegerin (OPG), have emerged as novel cardiovascular biomarkers. This open-label, ... Nikolaos,P.E.,Ka...

Nevertheless, diagnostic accuracy is decreased in diagnosing coronary stents due and severe coronary artery calcification due to its subordinate spatial resolution when compared to invasive angiograms. However, a recent discovery has found an ultrahigh-resolution CT scanner that could be capable of ...
Figure 01: Calcified Plaque Calcium is an essential mineral that keeps the bones and teeth strong. It also plays a role in other vital processes in the body. About 99% of calcium goes inside bones and teeth. The rest of the calcium dissolves in the blood. Calcification is a process in ...
Plaque characteristics were evaluated including positive remodeling, low attenuation and spotty calcification. Obstructive CAD was most frequent in DM patients, followed by HT and DL patients (34, 19 and 15%, respectively, p<0.0001). DM patients had more extensive disease than HT and DL patients ...
