DOI: 10.1007/s00234-020-02610-w
Abstract: Extracranial ICA imaging has largely focused on the degree of luminal stenosis, but recent advances suggest specific plaque features are crucial in stroke risk assessment. We evaluated the current state of reporting carotid plaque features… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2020.11.012
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is associated with premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Semi-automated plaque characterization (SAPC) by coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) provides information regarding coronary plaque burden and plaque characterization. Our aim… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2023.2196438
Abstract: Abstract Objectives Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are susceptible to coronary artery disease (CAD), and coronary outcomes in these patients are heterogeneous. However, the impact of coronary plaque compositions on rapid plaque progression… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/heartjnl-2021-319868
Abstract: Reducing the risk of plaque rupture events in individuals without a prior myocardial infarction is an imprecise science. To help clarify whether there is evidence of coronary artery disease and avoid ‘medicalisation’ of otherwise healthy… read more here.
