DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2021.01.038
Abstract: BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that atherosclerotic plaque composition rather than plaque size is linked to ischemic cardiovascular events, yet largescale population-based data in asymptomatic individuals remain scarce. OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate carotid plaque… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.828577
Abstract: The role of wall shear stress (WSS) in atherosclerotic plaque development is evident, but the relation between WSS and plaque composition in advanced atherosclerosis, potentially resulting in plaque destabilization, is a topic of discussion. Using… read more here.
