This pilot study is focused on recognition and digital analysis of atherosclerotic plaques in ultrasound B-images. The plaques are displayed as differently echogenic regions depending on plaque composition. The first goal is to find significant features to plaque analysis in B-images. We developed sof...
Statins: Lowers cholesterol and reduces plaque buildup in the arteries. Beta-blockers: To reduce blood pressure and slow down the heartbeat, allowing the heart to function more effectively. Ace inhibitors (to relax blood vessels): Lower blood pressure and relax blood vessels....
Along with diet, CRESTOR treats bad (LDL) cholesterol and plaque buildup in arteries as part of a treatment plan to get cholesterol to goal.
specialists in cardio-oncology, cardio-rheumatology, pregnancy-related disorders, cardio-oncology, and neurocognition, as well as culturally and linguistically competent nursing and allied health professionals, these centres are strongly positioned to detect women at risk and mitigate the onset of ischemic...
Caution must be exercised when interpreting IVUS-based tissue characterization because this technology lacks sufficient resolution to evaluate plaque composition. In stented arteries, OCT has the ability to detect uncovered struts and abnormal neointimal tissues including fibrin deposition, inflammation (...
Min: Cleerly uses proprietary and FDA-cleared machine learning algorithms to non-invasively analyze atherosclerosis (plaque) and stenosis using standard coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) studies. Its proprietary AI algorithms generate a 3D model of patients' coronary arteries, identify...
An ECG can be used to diagnose many common heart problems and may detect: Arrhythmias or abnormal heart rhythm Blocked or narrowed arteries in your heart or coronary artery disease If you have had a previous heart attack Continuous ECG monitoring may be recommended if your symptoms come and go...
Winternot onlychallenges heart health through cold-induced stressbut alsoimpacts cholesterol levels, a key contributor to cardiovascular disease.It is documented that, due to colder weather, the months have a high level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol which builds up plaque in the art...
The state of pathological complication when erosion or rupture of atherosclerotic plaques leads to thrombosis or clot formation, resulting in stroke or myocardial infarction. Atherogenesis The process of atherosclerotic plaque formation in the intimal layers of the artery, which is mediated by chronic inf...
In March, a group of Italian scientists publisheda studyon people undergoing surgery for clogged arteries. More than half of the 257 patients examined had microplastics — tiny particles of plastic — in the plaque in their arteries. When the researchers followed up nearly three years later, they...
