BackgroundPlaque progression (PP) is critical between subclinical atherosclerosis and plaque rupture. Small dense lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDLC) is considered as the most atherogenic lipoprotein. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print.

We used carotid ultrasounds to detect plaque at baseline and follow‐up in 2006 to 2009 (median follow‐up=5.5 had low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥160 mg/dL, which is higher than the recommended threshold for lifestyle or medical interventions in young adults of 20 to 39 years old. Lipids were measured after a 12‐hour fast.

You cannot eliminate the plaque entirely, but multiple clinical trials have shown plaque regression using high-intensity cholesterol-lowering treatments, which I have discussed previously. All of these parameters are important and need to be considered when evaluating plaque regression. REVERSAL Investigators.

BACKGROUND:Small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) particles are more atherogenic than large and intermediate low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) subfractions. Incident carotid plaques and their vulnerability were detected by carotid ultrasound at follow-up (2021). Stroke, Ahead of Print.

Carotid ultrasound results were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of plaque. Carotid plaque was observed in 1140 (43.5%) subjects and CACS>0 in 1172 (44.7%) subjects. Lp(a) levels were categorized into two groups: below 50 mg/dl and 50 mg/dl or higher. 1692 (64.6%) were male.

The primary outcome was the prevalence of carotid artery plaques assessed by ultrasound. Secondary outcomes included changes in NMR-derived lipoprotein subclasses and their mediation effects on carotid plaque. Fish oil supplementation was significantly associated with reduced prevalence of carotid plaques (P=0.023).

Plaque regression can be demonstrated by ultrasound evaluation of the carotids which are easily accessible. High density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood increases with regular exercise. HDL is involved in reverse cholesterol transport from the blood vessels to the liver.
