Thoracic Aortic Plaque Burden and Prediction of Cardiovascular Events in Patients Undergoing 320-row Multidetector CT Coronary Angiography
CONCLUSIONS: We found that comprehensive non-invasive evaluation of TAPB and CAD has prognostic value in MACE risk stratification for suspected CAD patients undergoing CCTA.PMID:37704429 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64251

Quantification of carotid plaque composition with a multi-contrast atherosclerosis characterization (MATCH) MRI sequence
CONCLUSION: MATCH images can be used to quantify plaque components such as LRNC and IPH but not for calcifications. Although MATCH images showed a lower mean image quality score, short scan time and inherent co-registration are significant advantages.PMID:37680565 | PMC:PMC10481960 | DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2023.1227495

Carotid total plaque area as an independent predictor of short-term subclinical polyvascular atherosclerosis progression and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events
CONCLUSION: In patients from 40 to 64 years of age with various cardiovascular risks, among the indicators of the cPB, only an increase in cTPA > 42.0 mm2 was shown to be independently associated with an increase in the relative risk (RR) of progression of subclinical polyvascular atherosclerosis by 2.38 (1.08-5.25) times, as well as with the development of MACCE by 3.10 (1.54-6.26) times.PMID:37655749 | DOI:10.1177/17539447231194861

Cerebral Microbleed Patterns and Cortical Amyloid- β: The ARIC-PET Study
CONCLUSIONS: In this community-based cohort of nondemented adults, lobar-only pattern of CMBs or superficial siderosis is most strongly associated with brain Aβ, with no elevated risk for a mixed CMB pattern. Further studies are needed to understand differences in CMB patterns and their meaning across subgroups.PMID:37638398 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.123.042835

Imaging Carotid Plaque Inflammation Using Positron Emission Tomography: Emerging Role in Clinical Stroke Care, Research Applications, and Future Directions
Cells. 2023 Aug 15;12(16):2073. doi: 10.3390/cells12162073.ABSTRACTAtherosclerosis is a chronic systemic inflammatory condition of the vasculature and a leading cause of stroke. Luminal stenosis severity is an important factor in determining vascular risk. Conventional imaging modalities, such as angiography or duplex ultrasonography, are used to quantify stenosis severity and inform clinical care but provide limited information on plaque biology. Inflammatory processes are central to atherosclerotic plaque progression and destabilization. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is a validated techn...

Decreasing national trends in diabetic complications hide regional differences: a prospective population-based study using health care registers in Finland
Conclusions. The decrease in the incidence of first cardiovascular events among patients with diabetes continued from 2010 to 2017 in Finland. However, the declining national incidence rates hide regional differences which should be a target for improvement.PMID:37614115 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2023.2247190
