Background—Previous studies suggest that erythrocyte membranes from intraplaque
hemorrhage into the necrotic core are a source of free cholesterol and may become a …

Objectives: This study sought to determine the immediate and long-term effects of
intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) on plaque progression in the carotid artery. Background …

Background—Intraplaque hemorrhage and juxtaluminal hemorrhage/thrombus may differ in
cause and clinical implications. This study tested the hypothesis that MRI can distinguish …

Aims Components of carotid atherosclerotic plaque such as intraplaque haemorrhage and
lipid core are important determinants of plaque progression and destabilization. The …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: An important characteristic of vulnerable plaque,
intraplaque hemorrhage, may predict plaque rupture. Plaque rupture can be visible on …

Background and Purpose—High-resolution, multicontrast magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) has developed into an effective tool for the identification of carotid atherosclerotic …

Background and Purpose—Because atherosclerosis is a systemic disease, presence and
composition on 1 location may relate to ischemic events in distant locations. We examined …

Background and Purpose—MRI is able to quantify carotid plaque size and composition with
good accuracy and reproducibility and provides an opportunity to prospectively examine the …

OBJECTIVES: Compare carotid plaque morphology of acute symptomatic, recently
symptomatic and asymptomatic patients (groups 1, 2 and 3 respectively) with carotid artery …

Atherothrombotic diseases are still major causes of inability and mortality and fighting
atherothrombosis remains a public health priority. The involvement of repeated intraplaque …
