BackgroundProtruding aortic plaque is known to be associated with an increased risk for future cardiac and cerebrovascular events. Coronary plaque characteristics were compared to evaluate coronary plaque vulnerability in patients with protruding aortic plaque on computed tomography angiography.

BACKGROUND:Aortic arch plaques are associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke in patients with cryptogenic stroke or prior embolic events. Arch plaques were assessed by suprasternal transthoracic echocardiography; plaques ≥4 mm in thickness were classified as large plaques. Stroke, Ahead of Print.

The Queen of Hearts disagrees, diagnosing OMI with high confidence: Case Continued: The EKG was not immediately recognized by the emergency provider, who ordered a CT scan to rule out aortic dissection at 1419. Smith comment : Is the ACS (rupture plaque) with occlusion that is now reperfusing? Murakami MM.

However, CTA head and neck 4 days later demonstrated 90 percent stenosis of the mid left V2 at the C3‐4 level and a 75‐90 percent stenosis of the left mid V2 segment at the C5‐6 level (hard and soft plaque in these areas). He was switched from DAPT to aspirin and warfarin because he was considered a “DAPT failure.”

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3
