DOI: 10.1007/s12928-022-00851-5
Abstract: This study sought to investigate the relationship between physiological severity and plaque vulnerability of intermediate coronary artery stenoses as assessed by fractional flow reserve (FFR) and near-infrared spectroscopy–intravascular ultrasound (NIRS–IVUS). We included vessels where both… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/01.hjh.0000838128.02792.9a
Abstract: Objective: Defining carotid atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability is problematic. The combination between imaging and biomarkers may be of practical significance for future assessment of extracranial stenoses. Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neuronal growth factor (NGF)… read more here.
