In contrast, calcified plaque progression was slower in COVID ... Even in non-hospitalized patients, the virus appears to accelerate atherosclerosis and increase inflammation, raising concerns ...

We examine a machine-learning approach using eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) to classify carotid plaques as vulnerable or stable using non-calcified plaque features and calcification morphology.

The pathway we looked at more closely starts up in atherosclerotic plaques and works against the calcification of the vessels," says Lehners. "This mechanism therefore has a vasoprotective function." ...

In recent years, it has become clear that carotid IMT, coronary calcification and carotid plaque reflect biologically and genetically different aspects of the atherosclerotic process, and will ...

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 ...

The expression of the epigenetic writer EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homolog 2) is increased in advanced atherosclerotic plaques and is associated with an unstable phenotype. The main source of EZH2 in ...

2000). However, the changes to the atherosclerotic lesional cellular composition, inflammation, plaque necrosis, and collagen deposition are not known. This is critical since plaques that rupture and ...
