Subclinical Vascular Composites Predict Clinical Cardiovascular Disease, Stroke, and Dementia: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)
CONCLUSIONS: Subclinical vascular composites of arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis may be useful biomarkers to inform the vascular pathways contributing to events of CVD, CHD, stroke, and dementia.PMID:37205504 | PMC:PMC10187443 | DOI:10.1101/2023.05.01.23289364

Carotid atherosclerosis in people of European, South Asian and African Caribbean ethnicity in the Southall and Brent revisited study (SABRE)
CONCLUSION: Prevalence of carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques varies by ethnicity, independent of risk factors. Lower plaque prevalence in in AC is consistent with their lower risk of CHD but not their higher risk of stroke. Higher cIMT in AC may be explained by risk factors. The similarity of plaque burden in SA and EA despite established differences in ASCVD risk casts some doubt on the utility of carotid ultrasound as a means of assessing risk across these ethnic groups.PMID:36762303 | PMC:PMC9902363 | DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2022.1002820

Diabetic retinopathy predicts cardiovascular disease independently of subclinical atherosclerosis in individuals with type 2 diabetes: A prospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: DR is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events in T2D individuals at primary CVD prevention, even after accounting for the presence of preclinical carotid atherosclerosis. These results may help to individualize CVD prevention strategies in T2D.PMID:36407461 | PMC:PMC9668891 | DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2022.945421

Association of immunoglobulin G N-glycosylation with carotid atherosclerotic plaque phenotypes and actual clinical cardiovascular events: a study protocol for a longitudinal prospective cohort study
BMJ Open. 2022 Jul 22;12(7):e058922. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2021-058922.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Immune-inflammatory response plays a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. IgG N-glycosylation is reported to be associated with the 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk score and subclinical atherosclerosis. However, the relationship of IgG glycosylation with actual clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and plaque phenotypes has rarely been investigated. Therefore, this study aims to understand whether IgG glycosylation traits are correlated with actual clinical CVD events and plaque phenotypes.METH...

Combining ultrasound with bio-indicators reveals progression of carotid stenosis
CONCLUSIONS: High-risk hs-CRP and hypoechoic plaque are independently associated with CAS progression. The progression of carotid stenosis is associated with a high risk of cerebrovascular events.PMID:34872279 | DOI:10.21037/apm-21-2666

From Cotton Candy to Diagnosis and Monitoring of Atherosclerosis: Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Quantification of Intraplaque Neovascularization
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, manifesting as ischemic heart disease and stroke, is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 28% of all-cause mortality in 2013.1,2 The active pathophysiologic process of atherosclerosis is initiated by endothelial injury and progresses with an inflammatory cascade inside the vessel wall, resulting in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.3-5 As atherosclerosis progresses, the fibrous plaque inhibits diffusion of nutrients and oxygen into the vessel wall, triggering neoangiogenesis and formation of new fragile vessels —a process called intraplaque neovascularization (IPN).

Common Carotid Artery Diameter and Risk of Cardiovascular Events and MortalityNovelty and Significance Epidemiology/Population
Carotid arterial diameter enlargement is a manifestation of arterial remodeling and may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We evaluated the association between carotid artery diameter and risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, CVD, and all-cause mortality and explored whether the associations could be explained by processes involved in arterial remodeling, that is, blood pressure–related media thickening, arterial stiffness, arterial wall stress, and atherosclerosis. We included 4887 participants (mean age 67±9 years; 54% women) from 4 cohort studies: Rotterdam Study, NEPHROTEST, Hoorn Study, and a stud...

The contribution of systematic implementation of cardiovascular explorations for the detection of cardiac sources of embolism in patients with stroke: About 230  patients.
CONCLUSION: Cardiovascular explorations remain indispensable in the workup of all ischemic strokes even if their therapeutic effect is modest. The lacunar infarct out first at 34% followed by 32% of cardio embolic causes and atheroma of the neck vessels in approximately 16%. PMID: 29753425 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comparison of Carotid Plaque Score and Coronary Artery Calcium Score for Predicting Cardiovascular Disease Events: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Epidemiology
BackgroundCoronary artery calcium (CAC) predicts coronary heart disease (CHD) events better than carotid wall plaque presence; however, differences in the utility of CAC burden and carotid plaque burden across the spectrum of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events is unknown.Methods and ResultsCVD, CHD and stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) events were evaluated prospectively in a multiethnic cohort without CVD at baseline. Carotid plaque score was determined by the number of ultrasound‐detected plaques in the common, bifurcation, and internal carotid artery segments. CAC was detected by computed tomography. Predictive ...

The Troms ø Study 1974-2016: forty years of cardiovascular research.
The Tromsø Study 1974-2016: forty years of cardiovascular research. Scand Cardiovasc J. 2016 Sep 21;:1-16 Authors: Njølstad I, Mathiesen EB, Schirmer H, Thelle DS Abstract The rapid increase of coronary heart disease mortality in Northern Norway during 1951-1970 was why the newly established University of Tromsø decided to start a study to identify major operating cardiovascular risk factors. The first Tromsø survey in 1974 suggested that the relatively high cardiovascular mortality was associated with elevated cholesterol levels and high prevalence of smoking, while high-density-lipoprotein-choles...

Lower limb peripheral arterial disease in 268 patients in Guadeloupe.
CONCLUSION: In our population, an infrapopliteal site was more often found than a proximal site. Distal localization was associated with diabetes, and proximal localization with smoking. Cardiovascular risk factors exhibited an atypical pattern with a large majority of patients (88 %) having high blood pressure, two-thirds diabetes, but with very few (7 %) smokers. Peripheral arterial disease was more often associated with a history of stroke than with ischemic heart disease. PMID: 27289257 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
