A high resolution, noninvasive approach to quantify atherosclerotic plaque in the peripheral vasculature could have significant clinical and research utility. Seventeen patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) were studied in a 1.5T CMR scanner. Atherosclerotic plaque volume in the superficial femoral artery was measured and interobserver, intraobserver, and test-retest variability deter...
AIMS This study aims to visualize ultrasonically deformation of atherosclerotic plaques in human coronary arteries during vasoconstriction and vasodilatation. METHODS AND RESULTS Intravascular ultrasound detected occult atherosclerosis in angiographically normal coronary arteries of eight patients with chest pain at rest. During the acetylcholine provocative test, intravascular ultrasound mon...
Cardiac computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a powerful imaging modality for the detection and prognostication of individuals with suspected coronary artery disease. Because calcification of coronary plaque occurs in proportion to the total atheroma volume, the initial diagnostic potential of CCTA focused on the identification and quantification of coronary calcium in low- to ...
Atherosclerotic plaque rupture and local thrombosis activation in the artery cause acute serious incidents such as acute coronary syndrome and stroke. The exact mechanism of plaque rupture remains unclear but excessive degradation of the extracellular matrix scaffold by matrix-degrading metalloproteinases (MMPs) has been implicated as one of the major molecular mechanisms in this process. Convi...
Acute coronary syndrome is a clinical condition of partial or total obstruction of blood flow in the coronary artery due to acute thrombus formation. Culprit vessel, coronary artery segment within which the site of origin of thrombus formation lies, is occupied by eroded or ruptured atherosclerotic plaque. Direct contact between circulating blood constituent and atherosclerotic plaque content o...
Molecular mechanisms underlying the cold-associated high cardiovascular risk remain unknown. Here, we show that the cold-triggered food-intake-independent lipolysis significantly increased plasma levels of small low-density lipoprotein (LDL) remnants, leading to accelerated development of atherosclerotic lesions in mice. In two genetic mouse knockout models (apolipoprotein E(-/-) [ApoE(-/-)] an...
OBJECTIVE Inflammatory monocytes/macrophages produce various proteinases, including matrix metalloproteinases, and degradation of the extracellular matrix by these activated proteinases weakens the mechanical strength of atherosclerotic plaques, which results in a rupture of the plaque. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ induces a polarity shift of monocytes/macrophages toward less in...
