Association of sdLDL-C With Incident Carotid Plaques With Stable and Vulnerable Morphology: A Prospective Cohort Study

Stroke Journal

Incident carotid plaques and their vulnerability were detected by carotid ultrasound at follow-up (2021). Higher sdLDL-C or sdLDL-C/LDL-C ratio, but not LDL-C, was significantly associated with an increased risk of incident carotid plaques. years (SD=0.14). years (SD=0.14). 9.90];P=0.027;Pfor linear trend=0.025).

Abstract TMP54: Development and testing of a fully automated tool for the detection, segmentation, and characterization of cervical carotid atherosclerotic disease

Stroke Journal

Although carotid plaques can be identified on CT angiography (CTA), interpretation is challenging for frontline physicians. Quantification of plaque volume/composition requires much manual effort. For detection of calcific and hypodense plaque components, respectively, the model achieved sensitivity of 96.5% (95%CI:89.3-99.1%)

Reviewing the all-in-pod heart health segment

Dr. Anish Koka

The history of diagnostic testing for coronary disease shows that we are better and better at identifying disease, but simply identifying coronary plaque isn’t the home run people think because of how ubiquitous the development of coronary plaque is in humans.

What Lies Beneath

EMS 12-Lead

The coronary angiogram revealed no critical stenosis, or acute plaque ulceration. Surawicz and Knilans report that intense catecholamine surge, or severe maladjustment of the autonomic nervous system, can manifest “cerebral T waves” in the absence of an acute intracranial process. Furthermore, pertinent electrolyte values (e.g.
