The Relationship Between Volumetric Plaque Components and Classical Cardiovascular Risk Factors and the Metabolic Syndrome
… The aim of this study was to analyze volumetric plaque composition of the coronary arterial tree according to the classical cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome (MS) by using virtual histology-intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS). Background: It remains unclear how the cardiovascular …

Plaquemorphologie bei Karotisstenosen : Möglichkeiten der präoperativen Evaluation durch den 64-Zeiler-Dual-Source-Computertomographen im Vergleich mit den histopathologischen Ergebnissen
… outcome during a CEA the apprasial of the Plaquemorphology is amoung the graduation of the stenosis of the carotid artery the keyfaktor because the composition of the Plaque is an important determinate for the stability and the rate of embolisation. Therefore the intention our study is the …

hs-CRP level represents the disease burden and the age but not vulnerability of coronary atherosclerosis
… presented hs-CRP level was associated with plaque vulnerability but most studies were performed by assessing focal target plaque but not whole plaques from a coronary tree. METHODS: To evaluate of the relationship of plasma hs-CRP level and volumetric plaque composition of the coronary …

Assessment of coronary artery plaque progression using 64 slice multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT)
… to detect of non-calcified atherosclerotic plaque and assess the plaque composition. Also coronary MDCT is an effective tool for assessment of serial change in plaque volume and then it would be used as a surrogate endpoint in clinical trials testing the efficacy of anti-atherosclerotic …

Molecular Mediators of Macrophage Foam Cell Formation and Atherosclerosis and their Pharmacological Modification
… from build-up of cholesterol-rich, inflamed plaques in the walls of arteries. Inflammation is central to atherosclerosis. A key driver of inflammation in plaque is the accumulation of cholesterol-laden macrophages, called foam cells. Uncontrolled inflammation in plaques makes them “unstable” …

Der Einfluss von Plaquemorphologie und anderen prädiktiven Faktoren auf das Auftreten von Mikroembolien während der Stentgeschützten Perkutanen Angioplastie der Karotiden (SPAC)
… thrombembolischer Abscheidungen aus der Karotisplaque während der Intervention. Plaquezusammensetzung und morphologie spielen eine Rolle bei der Stabilität der Plaque und könnten damit einen prognostischen Marker für das Auftreten von Mikroembolien während der Intervention darstellen. Bisher …
