Quantification of carotid plaque lipid content with magnetic resonance T2 mapping in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Techniques to stratify subgroups of patients with asymptomatic carotid artery disease are urgently needed to guide decisions on optimal treatment. Reliance on estimates of % luminal stenosis has not been effective, perhaps because that approach entirely disregards potentially important information on the pathological process in the wall of the artery. METHODS Since plaq...
متن کاملMR imaging-verified plaque delipidation with lipid-lowering therapy important questions remain.
i w o m s Numerous studies over the past 2 decades have demonstrated the benefit of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol lowering on heart attack, stroke, and cardiac death (1). Both invasive and noninvasive imaging approaches have been used as surrogate markers to demonstrate benefits of LDL lowering on atherosclerosis. Studies using intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) of the coronary ar...
متن کاملLipid Lowering and Plaque Regression
T reatments designed to favorably affect the clinical impact of coronary artery disease (CAD) have two fundamental goals. The first goal is to diminish the symptomatic limitations imposed by arterial obstructive disease, in which the vessel's capacity to fully meet the varying oxygen demands of the myocardium is impaired. Vascular capacity may be abnormal because of a fixed flow-limiting corona...
متن کاملWhole-brain N-acetylaspartate MR spectroscopic quantification: performance comparison of metabolite versus lipid nulling.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Despite the prominent peak of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) in proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MR spectroscopy) of the adult brain and its almost exclusive presence in neuronal cells, the total amount of NAA, regarded as their marker, is difficult to obtain due to signal contamination from the skull lipids. This article compares the performance of 2 methods that overcome this diff...
متن کاملLipid Content of Tumors.
Studies bearing on the lipids of tumors have been made in most cases either with regard to the changes of the lipid content of the blood of tumor animals and patients or the relation between the lipids and the growth of the tumors. Of the lipids, cholesterol has been most frequently studied. Roffo (1) reported that cholesterol is concerned with the development of experimental tumors and that an...
