Feasibility study of combining wall shear stress and elastography to assess the vascular status of carotid artery
CONCLUSION: This study reveals that the combination of wall shear stress and sound touch elastography is an effective and feasible method for assessing carotid artery health. When the mean wall shear stress value is over 1.5 Pa, the corresponding sound touch elastography value increases significantly. The risk of atherosclerosis increases with the stiffness of blood vessel walls.PMID:37018521 | DOI:10.2174/1573405620666230327125840

Large Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Presenting as an Embolic Stroke After a "Silent" Myocardial Infarction
Tex Heart Inst J. 2023 Mar 1;50(2):e227922. doi: 10.14503/THIJ-22-7922.ABSTRACTA 72-year-old woman with no history of coronary artery disease presented with an acute left middle cerebral artery stroke and was found to have a large left ventricular pseudoaneurysm measuring 8.7 × 7.6 cm and 2 large left ventricular thrombi, the source of her systemic embolization. Despite initial medical management, she developed refractory New York Heart Association functional class III heart failure, uncontrolled atrial fibrillation, and further enlargement of her pseudoaneurysm to 5.5 × 10.6 × 9.2 cm. She underwent urgent aneurysmectom...

Pearls and Pitfalls of Carotid Artery Imaging: Ultrasound, Computed Tomography Angiography, and MR Imaging
Radiol Clin North Am. 2023 May;61(3):405-413. doi: 10.1016/j.rcl.2023.01.001. Epub 2023 Feb 9.ABSTRACTStroke represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with carotid atherosclerosis responsible for a large proportion of ischemic strokes. Given the high burden of the disease , early diagnosis and optimal secondary prevention are essential elements in clinical practice. For a long time, the degree of stenosis had been considered the parameter to judge the severity of carotid atherosclerosis. Over the last 30 years, literature has shifted attention from stenosis to structural characteristics of atherosclerot...

Comparison of the OPTIVUS-Complex PCI Multivessel Cohort With the Historical CREDO-Kyoto Registry Cohort-3
CONCLUSIONS: IVUS-guided PCI targeting the OPTIVUS criteria combined with contemporary clinical practice was associated with superior clinical outcomes at 1 year compared with not only the historical PCI control, but also the historical CABG control.PMID:36908119 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-22-0837

The Rationalisation of Intra-Operative Imaging During Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: Current data have shown EUS to have superiority over manual palpation and transoesophageal echocardiography in the prevention of CVAs following cardiac surgery. Yet, EUS has not been implemented as a routine standard of care. Extensive adoption of EUS in clinical practice is warranted to aid large, randomised trials before making prospective conclusions on the efficacy of this screening method.PMID:36870922 | DOI:10.1016/j.hlc.2023.01.016

Stroke risk prediction by color Doppler ultrasound of carotid artery-based deep learning using Inception V3 and VGG-16
CONCLUSION: In this research, we classified color Doppler ultrasound images into high-risk carotid vulnerable and stable carotid plaques. We fine-tuned pre-trained deep learning models to classify color Doppler ultrasound images according to our dataset. Our suggested framework helps prevent incorrect diagnoses caused by low image quality and individual experience, among other factors.PMID:36864909 | PMC:PMC9971808 | DOI:10.3389/fneur.2023.1111906

Early identification and treatment for peripheral arterial disease in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease
Eur J Med Res. 2023 Feb 23;28(1):93. doi: 10.1186/s40001-023-01050-5.ABSTRACTIschemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) is a major cause of mortality and disability worldwide and is often caused by atherosclerosis. As a systemic disease, atherosclerosis usually affects multiple vascular beds, mainly including cerebral, coronary, and peripheral arteries. Therefore, ICVD is easily complicated by lower-extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD). ICVD patients with PAD have more serious symptoms and a worse prognosis, however, neurologists might neglect the evaluation and management of the coexistent PAD, and there is still a la...

Real-time Elastography and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound for Evaluating Adventitia in the Early Diagnosis of Vulnerable Plaques: an Exploratory Study Based on Histopathology
Transl Stroke Res. 2023 Feb 20. doi: 10.1007/s12975-023-01141-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVulnerable plaque is closely related to the occurrence of ischemic stroke. Therefore, early accurate identification of plaque vulnerability is crucial in risk stratification. In the development of vulnerable plaques, the change of the adventitia is earlier than that of the intima. Currently, researchers focused on the ultrasound detection of intraplaque and intima, but adventitia was often ignored in the examination. Real-time elastography technology (RTE) provides an estimation of adventitia stiffness, and contrast-enhanced ultr...

A Potential Strategy for Atherosclerosis Prevention in Modernizing China - Hyperhomocysteinemia, MTHFR C677T Polymorphism and Air Pollution (PM2.5) on Atherogenesis in Chinese Adults
CONCLUSION: HC and PM2.5 pollution but not MTHFR genotype were both related to carotid IMT, independent of other traditional risk factors. This has potential implications in dietary and AP strategies for atherosclerosis prevention in China.PMID:36806868 | DOI:10.1007/s12603-023-1889-x

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

Methods of arterial stiffness calculation and cardiovascular disease events: the multiethnic study of atherosclerosis
CONCLUSION: Different methods of calculating local arterial stiffness largely gave equivalent results, indicating that the variety of different arterial stiffness calculations in use do not cause inconsistent findings.PMID:36728257 | DOI:10.1097/HJH.0000000000003365
