The CaRi-Plaque technology supports non-invasive analysis of coronary anatomy and pathology from routine coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) scans to determine the presence, extent and severity of coronary plaques and luminal stenosis (narrowing of arteries). But with AI, we can change that.
BackgroundThe utility of screening for the degree of common carotid artery (CCA) stenosis as a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a general population remains unclear.Methods and ResultsWe studied 4775 Japanese men and women whose CCA was measured using bilateral carotid ultrasonography at baseline (April 1994–August 2001).
The Neuroguard Integrated Embolic Protection (IEP) system is an experimental treatment for carotid artery stenosis, also known as carotid artery disease, a condition in which fatty-waxy deposits known as plaque builds up and blocks the normal flow of blood in the large arteries on either side of the neck.
About a fifth of all ischemic strokes are attributed to embolization of ruptured atherosclerotic plaque from carotid arterial stenosis. But it has been difficult to predict which person with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is likely to progress to symptomatic carotid disease and stroke. J Am Coll Cardiol.
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.

Although the shock is no doubt partly a result of poor pump function, with low stroke volume, especially of the RV, it should be compensated for by tachycardia. Cardiac output is stroke volume x rate, so this patient needs a higher heart rate. This is a perfect indication for atropine. He was successfully stented.
Stroke, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:A modified computed tomography angiography (CTA)based Carotid Plaque Reporting and Data System (Plaque-RADS) classification was applied to a cohort of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source to test whether high-risk Plaque-RADS subtypes are more prevalent on the ipsilateral side of stroke.
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is routinely used to diagnose CAD caused by the narrowing (stenosis) or blockage of the coronary arteries that supply the heart with blood. More than 8 million Americans visit hospital emergency departments experiencing chest pain every year.
