Confirmation of the Intracoronary Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Threshold of Lipid-Rich Plaques That Underlie ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
OBJECTIVE In a previous exploratory analysis, intracoronary near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) found the majority of culprit lesions in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) to contain a maximum lipid core burden index in 4 mm (maxLCBI4mm) of >400. This initial study was limited by a small sample size, enrollment at a single center, and post hoc selection of the maxLCBI4mm ≥400 thre...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic imaging of lipid rich plaques in human aorta
Recently it has been shown that multiwavelength photoacoustic imaging has the potential to discriminate between normal and atheromatous areas of arterial tissue when operating in the 740-1300nm wavelength range. At this wavelength range the absorption spectrum of lipids and normal arterial tissue are significantly different allowing discrimination between one another. Also, this wavelength rang...
متن کاملUltrasound and lipoproteins as predictors of lipid-rich, rupture-prone plaques in the carotid artery.
The aim of this review is to summarize present knowledge of the ultrasonic detection and determinants of carotid atherosclerosis with lipid-rich cores and to review the evidence that these measures of plaque type may predict cerebral events. With the use of high-resolution ultrasound B-mode imaging, carotid plaques evaluated as only weakly reflecting the ultrasound beam (echolucent) have been a...
متن کاملIntracoronary Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Imaging for Detection of Lipid Content of Coronary Plaques: Current Experience and Future Perspectives
Acute coronary syndromes are frequently caused by "vulnerable" coronary plaques with a lipid-rich core. In 1993 near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was first used to detect the lipid (cholesterol) content of atherosclerotic plaques in an experimental animal study. NIRS was then carefully validated using human atherosclerotic plaques (ex vivo), and has subsequently been developed for intracoronary...
متن کاملIntracoronary Imaging in the Detection of Vulnerable Plaques
Coronary artery disease is the result of atherosclerotic changes to the coronary arterial wall, comprising endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation and deposition of lipid-rich macrophage foam cells. Certain high-risk atherosclerotic plaques are vulnerable to disruption, leading to rupture, thrombosis and the clinical sequelae of acute coronary syndrome. Though recognised as the gold stan...
