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: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehae666.176
Abstract: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero (so-called "power of zero") is associated with a very low rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), especially during short and midterm follow-up. However, a CAC score of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/rct.0000000000000862
Abstract: PURPOSE To investigate whether selected carotid computed tomography angiography (CTA) quantitative features can predict 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk scores. METHODS One hundred seventeen patients with calculated ASCVD risk scores were considered. A semiautomated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s41747-023-00410-4
Abstract: To identify subjects with rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaques before thrombotic events occur is an unmet clinical need. Thus, this proof-of-concept study aims to determine which rupture-prone plaque features can be detected using clinically available photon-counting computed… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10061309
Abstract: Existing tools to estimate cardiovascular (CV) risk have sub-optimal predictive capacities. In this setting, non-invasive imaging techniques and omics biomarkers could improve risk-prediction models for CV events. This study aimed to identify gene expression patterns… read more here.
