The American College of Cardiology (ACC) held its 73 rd annual scientific session and expo April 6-8, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia. These patients were identified to have non-flow-limiting vulnerable coronary plaques through intracoronary imaging. April 6, 2024. April 7, 2024. April 7, 2024. April 7, 2024.

Detailed analysis of the excised carotid plaques were carried out with pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, stable isotope analysis, and electron microscopy. Primary endpoint of the study was a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from any cause in those who had micro and nanoplastics in the carotid plaque.

About a fifth of all ischemic strokes are attributed to embolization of ruptured atherosclerotic plaque from carotid arterial stenosis. 2024 May 7;83(18):1728-1730. 2024 May 7;83(18):1717-1727. Now there is evidence linking clonal hematopoiesis, carotid stenosis and stroke. J Am Coll Cardiol. doi: 10.1016/j.jacc.2024.03.389.

There was no significant difference for noncalcified and mixed plaques, though they were much smaller in number. 2024 Feb;310(2):e231956. In in-vivo results, there was decreasing median percentage diameter stenosis with increasing spatial resolution for calcified stenoses. patients than that was assigned using standard resolution.
