Associations of the triglyceride-glucose index and atherogenic index of plasma with the severity of new-onset coronary artery disease in different glucose metabolic states

Cardiovascular Diabetology

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is considered a dependable biomarker for gauging insulin resistance. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) represents a marker reflecting atherosclerosis. However, there is.

Computed tomographic angiography measures of coronary plaque in clinical trials: opportunities and considerations to accelerate drug translation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) is the causal pathological process driving most major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) worldwide. The complex development of atherosclerosis manifests as intimal plaque which occurs in the presence or absence of traditional risk factors.

Abstract 4125093: Association of Systemic Inflammatory Index and Systemic Inflammatory Response Index with Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Who Had Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Circulation

Introduction:Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease and Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Conclusion:The SIRI and SII are inflammatory biomarkers that should be studied as potentially predictors of MACE among patients presented with ACS.

Coronary Artery Calcification: Current Concepts and Clinical Implications

Circulation

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) accompanies the development of advanced atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, the relationship between CAC and the susceptibility of a plaque to provoke a thrombotic event remains incompletely understood. This review summarizes the current understanding and literature on CAC.

Lowering Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events by Treating Residual Inflammatory Risk

DAIC

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
