The relationship between percent stenosis in each of these plaque types, mean calcium area, and necrotic core (Figure 2C) revealed that fibrocalcific plaques were more heavily calcified with increasing luminal stenosis followed by healed ruptures. Only mild increases in calcium occurred with luminal ...
have an irregular heart rate calledatrial fibrillationare at risk for stroke. Stroke risk may also be increased in patients with carotid stenosis, and the health care practitioner may listen over the neck for a bruit (an abnormal sound made by blood rushing through a narrowed carotid artery). ...
A new T2 mapping technique for lipid plaque (12) correlated very well with histology and differentiated symptomatic and asymptomatic plaques of similar carotid stenosis severity, raising the possibility of using plaque lipid values to direct how aggressive we should be with therapy. Haptoglobin (Hp) ...
