Intima-Media Thickness in the Carotid Bifurcation is Related to Silent Brain Infarction: A Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSION: The maximum bIMT was found to be the main determinant of SBI. A significant SBI risk was associated with an increase in each category of the maximum bIMT. Therefore, the maximum bIMT might be a useful predictor of future stroke in Japanese stroke-free medical check-up participants.PMID:38447967 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64721 (Source: Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis)

Elevated Leukocyte Count and Platelet-Derived Thrombogenicity Measured Using the Total Thrombus-Formation Analysis System in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
CONCLUSIONS: An elevated leukocyte count is associated with high T-TAS-based platelet-derived thrombogenicity during the acute phase of STEMI.PMID:38447974 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64395 (Source: Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis)

Age- and Gender-Specific Reference Intervals for the Fasting Serum Lipid Levels in a Pediatric Population Aged 0- <15 Years in Nanjing, China
CONCLUSIONS: We established age- and sex-specific RIs for TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, and nHDL-C parameters in children aged 0 days to <15 years in Nanjing, China. These data are thus considered to be useful for the screening of dyslipidemia in children and adolescents.PMID:38417901 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64270 (Source: Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis)

The Risk of Coronary Artery Calcification according to Different Lipid Parameters and Average Lipid Parameters
CONCLUSIONS: A high ApoB level showed a strong association with CAC risk compared with the lowest ApoB quartile. The baseline lipid parameters can predict CAC development as effectively as the average of multiple measurements can.PMID:38417908 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64600 (Source: Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis)
