Temporal changes and treatment-associated stabilization of aortic ruptured plaques assessed by non-obstructive general angioscopy

Intensive lipid-lowering therapy reduces cardiovascular events by lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and stabilizing coronary vulnerable plaques in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Whether similar disease-modifying effects occur in ruptured plaques of the aorta remains unknown. Non-o...

Aortic plaque characteristics and hypertension: insights from non-obstructive general angioscopy

The relationship between hypertension and aortic plaque instability detected by NOGA was evaluated and it was found that hypertension may contribute not only to plaque burden but also to plaque destabilization in the aorta.

Association between serum lipoprotein(a) levels and aortic vulnerable plaques assessed by non-obstructive general angioscopy

Background and aims Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels are recognized as a genetic risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Previous coronary imaging studies have linked elevated Lp(a) levels to vulnerable coronary plaque characteristics. However, the relationship between elevated Lp(a) levels and vu...

Long-term Prognostic Value of Stress Phase Entropy for Predicting Major Cardiac Events in Patients with Known or Suspected Coronary Artery Disease.

Stress phase entropy derived from ECG-gated SPECT MPI was a strong long-term predictor of MCEs in Japanese patients with CAD and it is considered to be the most useful left ventricular dyssynchrony index to improve risk stratification over prediction by perfusion and LVEF assessment alone.
