Background Inflammation and lipid infiltration play crucial roles in the development of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to investigate the association between various complex indexes of blood cell types and lipid levels with the severity of coronary artery stenosis and their predictive value in coronary heart disease (CHD).

Genome-wide association and Mendelian randomisation studies have identified lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) as an emerging risk factor for calcific aortic stenosis and a causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in different ethnicities.

There is an area of dense white in the middle of the circle consistent with atherosclerosis. They too have dense white masses consistent with coronary atherosclerosis. Or is it a very tight stenosis that does not allow enough flow to perfuse myocardium that has a high oxygen demand from severely elevated BP?

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) accompanies the development of advanced atherosclerosis. Limited spatial resolution and blooming artifacts may hinder estimation of degree of coronary artery stenosis. However, contemporary computed tomography cannot assess early microcalcification.

BackgroundChronic inflammatory disease (CID) accelerates atherosclerosis and the development of aortic stenosis. The presence of CID was associated with a higher rate of postinterventional infection (5% versus 1%,P=0.007) and further emerged as a risk factor for rehospitalization for bleeding or infection (hazard ratio, 1.93

Even in patients whose moderate stenosis undergoes thrombosis, most angiograms show greater than 50% stenosis after the event. However, one can certainly imagine that many thromboses of non-obstructive lesions completely lyse and do not leave a stenosis on same day or next day angiogram.

Lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) can improve the accuracy of assessment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and the risk of aortic valve stenosis. Management of high levels encourages rigorous attention to correction of other risk factors, such as blood pressure, smoking and low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
