In order to detect a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque that is more likely to cause cardiovascular events, one should focus on studying biomarkers more associated with destabilization rather than ...

We investigated the association of serum Ca, P, and CPP to carotid artery atherosclerotic plaque assessed by high-resolution MR vessel wall imaging in acute ischemic stroke patients. Methods: A total ...

HIF-1α exerts both detrimental and beneficial actions in atherosclerosis. While there is evidence that HIF-1α could be pro-atherogenic within the atheromatous plaque, experimental models of ...

IL-6 secreted by ECs, monocytes, T cells, neutrophils and VSMCs promotes adhesion molecule expression by ECs as well as transmigration of circulating immune cells into the atherosclerotic plaque (this ...

Atherosclerosis, a key contributor to CVD, is a chronic inflammatory disease that changes the structure of the arterial wall, thereby promoting accumulation of arterial plaque that impairs arterial ...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of taurine on the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Plasma taurine levels were measured in 105 patients with varying degrees of coronary heart ...

17 CaWs, 22 atherosclerotic plaques (15 mild/moderate and 7 severe), and eight normal carotid arteries ... Each ROI was placed in a standardized location and measured approximately 1 cm along the ...
