b.an abnormal hardened deposit on the inner wall of an artery. 5.a soft, sticky, whitish film formed on tooth surfaces, composed of bacteria, mucin, and other matter. 6.a clear area in a laboratory dish of a bacterial culture, indicating dead bacteria. ...
Plaque has a significant function in causing blood vessel ruptures. This study used fluid-structure interaction (FSI) which is the combination of finite volume method (FVM) and finite element method (FEM) to investigate the deformable structure during internal fluid flow. Therefore, this particular...
Ifplaquein an artery ruptures or breaks open, blood clots may form. 如果动脉中的斑块破裂, 就可能会形成医学血液凝块. 期刊摘选 The balloon catheter compresses theplaqueand widens the artery to restore blood flow. 球囊挤压了斑块,从而扩张了冠状动脉,进一步恢复了心肌的正常供血. ...
Because lipid-rich plaques with thin fibrous caps have been shown to be vulnerable to rupture as a major cause of acute coronary events (1, 2), several attempts have been made to develop an imaging modality to identify such plaques before they rupture. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging ...
As a concept, “vulnerable plaque” was first described in 1990 as a coronary lesion having the “potential to become thrombogenic if exposed to the appropriate triggering stimulus.”1Much of the early work with these rupture-prone plaques was targeted at severely stenotic lesions, but subsequent...
This clinical trial compares the effects of testosterone gel vs placebo for 12 months on noncalcified coronary artery plaque volume in older men with low
Characterization of healing following atherosclerotic carotid plaque rupture in acutely symptomatic patients: an exploratory study using in vivo cardiovasc... Carotid plaque rupture, characterized by ruptured fibrous cap (FC), is associated with subsequent cerebrovascular events. However, ruptured FC may hea...
Compared with placebo, TXL treatment significantly reduced the change from baseline in the plaque area and RI, as well as the first major cardiovascular events. In conclusion, TXL retarded the progression of mean IMT, plaque area and vascular remodeling of the carotid artery with a good safety ...
Coronary-Plaque Rupture in Acute Coronary Syndromes Triggered by Snow Shoveling — NEJM KS Channer - 《New England Journal of Medicine》 被引量: 14发表: 2012年 More on Coronary-Plaque Rupture Triggered by Snow Shoveling. A letter to the editor is presented in response to the article "...
These acute plaque ruptures then appear to heal and form buried fibrous caps; after 9 weeks of fat feeding, mice had 1.05+/-0.15 buried fibrous caps at a single site in the brachiocephalic artery. Pravastatin (40 mg/kg of body weight per day for 9 weeks; resultant plasma concentration 16...
