Plaque microvascularization and increased endothelial permeability are key players in the
development of atherosclerosis, from the initial stages of plaque formation to the occurrence …

Atherosclerosis, a complex cardiovascular disease, is a leading cause of mortality and
morbidity worldwide. Oxidative stress and inflammation are both involved in the …

Identification of carotid artery atherosclerosis is conventionally based on measurements of
luminal stenosis and surface irregularities using in vivo imaging techniques including …

The pathobiology of degenerative aortic valve stenosis (AS) is complex and involves
multiple features such as fibrosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, angiogenesis, hemorrhage …

Background Intracranial atherosclerotic disease tends to affect multiple arterial segments.
Using whole‐brain vessel wall imaging, we sought to study the differences in plaque …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intraplaque hemorrhage is considered a leading
parameter of carotid plaque vulnerability. Our purpose was to assess the CT characteristics …

Hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. Cardiovascular
risk has been reported to be significantly increased in hyperlipidemic patients with …

Purpose To develop a three-dimensional (3D) high-spatial-resolution time-efficient
sequence for use in quantitative vessel wall T1 mapping. Materials and Methods A …

Objective Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) and ulceration of carotid atherosclerotic plaques
have been associated with vulnerability while calcification has been conventionally thought …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to determine how carotid plaque components (eg,
intraplaque hemorrhage [IPH], calcification, lipid core) change over time and which …
