BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Activation of monocytes and differentiation into lipid-laden macrophages are fundamental events in generation of atherosclerotic lesions. There exist few data on monocyte activity and the risk for atherosclerosis. In this prospective population-based study, we examined whether monocyte count in blood is a predictor of future plaque formation in persons without pre-existin...
متن کاملDirection of Plaque Progression is a Significant Predictor in Plaque Vulnerability: An Evaluation by MRI
Introduction Vascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability in the United States. A great deal of evidence shows that atherosclerotic plaque components are a decisive factor determining plaque vulnerability.

15 صفحه اولLeukocyte count is associated with aortic arch plaque thickness.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Leukocyte count has been associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, including carotid plaque thickness, in several studies. We hypothesized that white blood cell count is associated with aortic arch plaque thickness (AAPT). METHODS Leukocyte count was measured in randomly selected stroke-free community participants undergoing transesophageal echocardiog...
متن کاملIVUS-VH: a predictor of plaque morphology?
Imaging modalities that identify plaques vulnerable to rupture offer the possibility of preventing the most common substrate of coronary thrombosis. The incidence of progression of thin-cap atheroma, as identified at PCI, is largely unknown. Glaser et al. have demonstrated that at 1-year follow-up of a cohort of patients undergoing PCI, at least 6% develop progression of disease requiring addit...
