Background: Although imaging tools are crucial in identifying features of atherosclerotic plaque, there remains a lack of consensus on the use of serological markers for assessing high-risk plaques.

It has yet to be established whether a causal relationship exists. Post mortem studies have revealed that the majority of ACS events occur as a result of atherosclerotic plaque disruption. We ...

Background: The influence of butylphthalide on atherosclerotic plaque burden remains underexplored. This pooled analysis was aimed to evaluate its efficacy and safety in carotid atherosclerosis.

In the control group, there were no atherosclerotic lesions and no macrophages in the aortic wall. The combination of an atherogenic diet and balloon denudation of the aorta induced significant ...

Abstract: Enhancing the precision of segmenting coronary atherosclerotic plaques from CT Angiography (CTA) images is pivotal for advanced Coronary Atherosclerosis Analysis (CAA), which distinctively ...

Microplastics and nanoplastics might interact with the plaque that causes heart attacks and strokes. A new study found high levels of plastic in the arterial plaque of stroke and vision-loss patients.

Tiny pieces of plastic are infiltrating the large arteries in the neck that carry blood from the heart to the head, with the highest amounts found in fatty buildup in the arteries of stroke ...

In summary, the function of the intimal smooth muscle cell in the natural history of the atherosclerotic lesion ... essential fibrous cap that prevents plaque rupture. With the recognition of ...

Amgen’s next-generation cholesterol drug has shown it can reverse the build up of plaque build-up in coronary ... LDL-C therapies to measure slowing of atherosclerotic disease progression.

Background Few studies have so far explored plaque characteristics on high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) associated with intraprocedural stent thrombosis (IPST) during ...

Plaque builds up on the surface of teeth. It consists of bacteria, food particles, and saliva. If it's not removed, it can harden into tartar. The bacteria in plaque produce acids that can erode ...
