Plaque-prone hemodynamics impair endothelial function in pig carotid arteries.
Hemodynamic forces play an active role in vascular pathologies, particularly in relation to the localization of atherosclerotic lesions. It has been established that low shear stress combined with cyclic reversal of flow direction (oscillatory shear stress) affects the endothelial cells and may lead to an initiation of plaque development. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of hemody...
متن کاملAssociations between Carotid Artery Plaque Score, Carotid Hemodynamics and Coronary Heart Disease.
BACKGROUND The carotid artery plaque score (PS) is an independent predictor of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). This study aims to evaluate the combination of PS and carotid hemodynamics to predict CHD. METHODS A total of 476 patients who underwent carotid ultrasonography and coronary angiography were divided into two groups depending on the presence of CHD. PS, carotid intima-media thickness, a...
متن کاملSymptomatic ulcerative carotid plaque.
A 65-year-old man with a history of smoking, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus presented because of sudden-onset left hemiparesis. On admission, neurological examination disclosed a mild left-sided weakness, a normal consciousness level, and a right carotid bruit. The blood pressure, ECG, echocardiogram, and laboratory studies were all unremarkable. He was taking daily aspirin, enalapril, and...
متن کاملThe symptomatic carotid plaque.
BACKGROUND The natural histories of equally severe symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenoses are very different, which suggests dichotomy in plaque behavior. The vascular biology of the symptomatic carotid plaque is presented in this review. SUMMARY OF REVIEW Histology studies comparing asymptomatic and symptomatic plaques were identified from MEDLINE. Reports in which stenosis severity w...
متن کاملAterofisiol® in carotid plaque evolution
BACKGROUND In patients with carotid stenosis, the risk of plaque rupture is related to the composition of the atherosclerotic plaque rather than to its magnitude. In this regard, we evaluated the effects of a supplement, Aterofisiol,(®) containing omega-3 (EPA [eicosapen acid] DHA [docosahexaenoic acid]), vitamin K2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC) and resveratrol on...
