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 ...

In the 1970s, there was increasing interest in using seaweed-derived polysaccharides as lipid lowering drugs and inhibitors of atherosclerotic plaque formation. However, the discovery of statins ...

In atherosclerosis, the vascular smooth muscle ... as well as to the formation of the fibrous cap that provides stability to the plaque. The VSMC can undergo a proliferative response that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Previous studies suggest that taurine supplementation may attenuate atherosclerosis by reducing ... Taurine treatment significantly decreased plaque areas in the carotid artery, reduced Masson's ...

Hemodynamic parameters, including full width at half maximum (FWHM) and area under the time–density curve (AUC) as proxies for increased flow stasis, were calculated using TDC analyses of a region of ...
