TL;DR
The preliminary findings suggest that CIMT may have potential as a supplementary marker of coronary complexity, but this requires confirmation in larger, prospective studies before any clinical application can be recommended.
A higher CHG index was associated with a higher Gensini score in patients with CAD, suggesting that this simple and inexpensive metabolic marker may provide complementary information for assessing coronary atherosclerotic burden.
Objective To investigate the associations of continuous ultrasound-derived fat fraction (UDFF) with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and prevalent carotid plaque in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), assess the incremental statistical information provided by UDFF in primary and broader traditional vasc...
Purpose: This study evaluated the association between carotid intima thickness (cIT), measured using high-resolution ultrasound, and endothelial cell dysfunction (ECD), assessed using flow-mediated dilation (FMD), for early atherosclerosis risk assessment. Methods: Between January and December 2024, 102 middle-aged non...
This meta-analysis suggests that high Lp(a) levels are associated with several imaging-defined high-risk coronary plaque features, with the most robust evidence observed for OCT-derived TCFA and plaque rupture.
Assessment of the severity and anatomical complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is crucial for therapeutic decision-mak ing and selecting patients for coronary revascularization. The aim of this study was to examine the association of basic lipid param eters (total cholesterol (TC), high/low density lipoprotein c...
Background: Coronary artery disease remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Simple and accessible tools for estimating coronary angiographic disease burden may facilitate risk stratification, particularly in settings with limited resources. Objective: To develop and temporally internally valid...
