Coronary and carotid atherosclerosis: Similarities and differences

TLDR
Overall, the evidence shows that a clear relationship exists between disease in the coronary and carotid arteries, since conventional risk factors and the extent of stenosis and/or previous events emanating from one artery have a strong bearing on the prevalence of events in the other artery.About:

Comparison of Carotid Plaque Score and Coronary Artery Calcium Score for Predicting Cardiovascular Disease Events: The Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Adam D. Gepner,Rebekah Young,Joseph A.C. Delaney,Matthew J. Budoff,Joseph F. Polak,Michael J. Blaha,Wendy S. Post,Erin D. Michos,Joel D. Kaufman,James H. Stein +9 more
TL;DR: CAC score improved prediction, discrimination, and reclassification of CVD and CHD better than carotid ultrasound measures, although prediction and discrimination were similar for stroke/TIA.
Journal ArticleDOI
A haemodynamic predictor of intraluminal thrombus formation in abdominal aortic aneurysms
TL;DR: The need for further consideration of the TFP, or a similar combined metric, as a potentially useful clinical predictor of the possible formation of ILT in AAAs is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary and carotid atherosclerosis: how useful is the imaging?
TL;DR: The recent advancement of imaging modalities has made possible visualization of atherosclerosis disease in all phases of its development and research is focusing on finding imaging techniques that are less invasive, less radiation and can detect most of the vulnerable plaque features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endovascular Versus Open Surgical Intervention in Patients with Takayasu's Arteritis: A Meta-analysis.
TL;DR: This meta-analysis has shown a lower risk of restenosis with open surgical intervention than with endovascular intervention, and the risk of stroke in open surgery is higher when the supra-aortic branches are involved rather than the renal arteries.

Carotid plaque echogenicity predicts cerebrovascular symptoms: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Fisnik Jashari,Pranvera Ibrahimi,Gani Bajraktari,Christer Grönlund,Per Wester,Per Wester,Michael Y. Henein +6 more
TL;DR: This meta‐analysis determined the role of carotid plaque echogenicity in predicting future cerebrovascular symptoms and showed an association between hypoechoic (echolucent)Carotid atherosclerotic plaques and unstable features.

TL;DR: In this trial of apparently healthy persons without hyperlipidemia but with elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels, rosuvastatin significantly reduced the incidence of major cardiovascular events.

Primary angioplasty versus intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction : A quantitative review of 23 randomised trials
TL;DR: The results seen with primary PTCA remained better than those seen with thrombolytic therapy during long-term follow-up, and were independent of both the type of throm bolytic agent used and whether or not the patient was transferred for primary P TCA.

Rosuvastatin to Prevent Vascular Events in Men and Women With Elevated C-Reactive Protein

TL;DR: It is shown that statin therapy reduces high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels as well as cholesterol, but no prospective trials have directly addressed the issue of whether elevated levels of high-magnifying C- reactive protein are beneficial for apparently healthy people.

Coronary Plaque Disruption
TL;DR: This review will explore potential mechanisms responsible for the sudden conversion of a stable atherosclerotic plaque to an unstable and life-threatening atherothrombotic lesion—an event known as plaque fissuring, rupture, or disruption.
