Carotid artery atherosclerotic profile as a predictor of the aorta atherosclerotic profile in patients with cerebrovascular events
(2013-09-01)
Background: It is well known that the presence of atheroma of the thoracic aorta is a risk factor for cerebrovascular events. We sought to evaluate whether the presence and the morphology of atherosclerotic plaque in the ...

Histological composition and progression of carotid plaque
(2007-02)
Abstract Background To analyse histological composition and progression of carotid plaque. Methods Thirty-one patients (22 males, mean age 68.03 ± 7.3 years) admitted for carotid endarterectomy for extracranial high-grade ...
Carotid Artery Atherosclerotic Profile as Risk Predictor for Restenosis After Coronary Stenting
(Arquivos Brasileiros Cardiologia, 2021-04-01)
Background: The incidence of restenosis of the coronary artery after a bare-metal stent implant has been lower than in simple balloon angioplasty; however, it still shows relatively high rates. Objective: The aim of this ...
Carotid Plaque Composition and the Importance of Non-Invasive in Imaging Stroke Prevention
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2022-05-16)
Luminal stenosis has been the standard feature for the current management strategies in patients with atherosclerotic carotid disease. Histological and imaging studies show considerable differences between plaques with ...
Spectral Signal Density of Carotid Plaque Using Dual-Energy Computed Tomography
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-09)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Plaque characterization using virtual monochromatic imaging derived from dual-energy computed tomography (CT) angiography requires the determination of normal signal density values of each plaque ...
Panoramic radiography for detection of bilateral carotid calcified atheroma: An unusual Case Report
(2020)
Introduction: Atherosclerosis is a progressive inflammatory disease that can trigger serious medical consequences like acute myocardial infarction or stroke. Case Report: The purpose of this study is to report an unusual ...
Chronic exposure to biomass fuel is associated with increased carotid artery intima-media thickness and a higher prevalence of atherosclerotic plaque
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2013)
Background Biomass fuels are used for cooking in the majority of rural households worldwide. While their use is associated with an increased risk of lung diseases and all-cause mortality, the effects on cardiovascular ...
Videodensitometric analysis of advanced carotid plaque: correlation with MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2011)
Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP) promote derangement of the extracellular matrix, which is ultimately reflected in plaque images seen on ultrasound. Videodensitometry can ...
