Phenotyping atherosclerotic plaque and perivascular adipose tissue: signalling pathways and clinical biomarkers in atherosclerosis

Nature Reviews - Cardiology

Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 02 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41569-024-01110-1 In this Review, Dey and colleagues explore the pathobiology of coronary atherosclerotic plaques and perivascular adipose tissue, describe their phenotyping with computed tomography coronary angiography, and discuss potential future applications in clinical (..)

New 'Atherosclerosis Atlas' Sheds Light on Heart Attacks, Strokes

DAIC

MILLER, PHD, LED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW "ATHEROSCLEROSIS ATLAS" THAT DETAILS, AT THE LEVEL OF INDIVIDUAL CELLS, CRITICAL PROCESSES RESPONSIBLE FOR FORMING THE HARMFUL PLAQUE BUILDUP THAT CAUSES HEART ATTACKS, STROKES AND CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE. Over time, fatty plaques build up inside the arteries, where they can slow blood flow.

Identification of microRNA biomarkers simultaneously expressed in circulating extracellular vesicles and atherosclerotic plaques

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The early detection of plaques by circulating biomarkers is highly clinically relevant to prevent the occurrence of major complications such as stroke or heart attacks. miRNA expression profiles of serum-derived EVs were obtained by small RNA sequencing and in plaque material simultaneously acquired from patients.

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

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

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

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 1,6 Until recently atherosclerosis has been thought of as the result of passive lipid accumulation in the vessel wall. 4 In the U.S.

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. Circulation, Volume 149, Issue 3 , Page 251-266, January 16, 2024.
