A new study found severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection was associated with the rapid growth ...

COVID-19 accelerates the progression of atherosclerotic plaques, increasing coronary inflammation and the risk of high-risk ...

There has been great interest in identifying plaques that might be the site of future acute coronary events. The majority of these "vulnerable plaques" are lipid-rich with an abundance of ...

Atherosclerosis is a systematic disease, and inflammatory markers are generated from all vascular beds including coronary circulation ... the diagnosis of vulnerable plaque, a series of biological ...

The “vulnerable” plaque responsible for acute coronary syndromes and, ultimately, coronary artery thrombosis, has a thin cap and a necrotic core; see Atherosclerosis Topic Review. There are ...

The “vulnerable plaque” responsible for acute coronary syndromes and, ultimately, coronary artery thrombosis, has a thin cap and a necrotic core (see Atherosclerosis Topic Review). A key ...

Noninvasive, early detection of these so-called 'vulnerable plaques' would improve the identification and risk stratification of patients with an intermediate risk of coronary artery disease (CAD ...

with a particular focus on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and vulnerable plaque. AI algorithms and machine learning techniques have shown tremendous potential in optimizing the analysis of ...

As the largest coronary artery, the LAD supplies a lot of blood to the left side of the heart. This artery is at risk for plaque build-up (atherosclerosis) and coronary artery disease. Angioplasty ...
