Carotid plaque is a predictor of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in patients undergoing coronary angiography

Arch. cardiol. Méx; 89 (1), 2019
Abstract Introduction: Carotid disease, measured as carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and carotid plaque (CP), is associated with major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in people without the previous atherosclerotic disease; however, there are few published data in patients undergo...

Atherosclerotic Plaque in Patients with Zero Calcium Score at Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (5), 2018
Abstract Background: In view of the high mortality for cardiovascular diseases, it has become necessary to stratify the main risk factors and to choose the correct diagnostic modality. Studies have demonstrated that a zero calcium score (CS) is characteristic of a low risk for cardiovascular events. How...

Evaluation of plaque characteristics in coronary artery patients with impaired glucose tolerance through optical coherence tomography

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE With the adoption of optical coherence tomography (OCT), this study targets the impacts on plaque characteristics brought about by impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in patients with coronary artery disease. METHODS For this study, 150 patients with coronary artery disease were recrui...
