Molecular Imaging of Carotid Plaque Vulnerability
Background: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has been shown to be beneficial in patients with high-grade symptomatic carotid artery stenosis. Patients with high-grade asymptomatic stenosis may only exceptionally benefit from CEA during periods of increased plaque vulnerability. Imaging modalities to characterize unstable, vulnerable plaques are strongly needed for better risk stratification in thes...

متن کاملMolecular imaging of macrophage cell death for the assessment of plaque vulnerability.
The ability to identify atherosclerotic plaques that are prone to rupture, also called vulnerable plaques, may provide a major step forward in the recognition of patients that have a high risk of developing acute myocardial infarction. Current clinical risk profiling algorithms, such as the Framingham and Procam risk scores, have reasonable predictive value in the assessment of the 10 year risk...
