  • #49 Post-USPIO MRI can be used to identify macrophages accumulation within the plaque in vivo
  • #77 Pre- and post-contrast (Omniscan) enhanced images show regional variation in contrast enhancement A region of strong enhancement adjacent to the lumen (arrow 1) indicates neovasculature Also indicated are a necrotic core with minor enhancement (arrow 2) and an enhancing region of neovasculature near the outer wall (arrow 3) The presence of neovessels was confirmed in the correpsonding histological slice
  • #101 Vascular disease is the result of a generalized process that affects multiple vascular beds, including the cerebral, coronary, and peripheral arteries. Coexistence of vascular disease in multiple beds increases the risk for developing ischemic events such as MI and stroke.[1] Vascular disease in cerebral arteries may precipitate a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or an ischemic stroke. A TIA, by definition, lasts for fewer than 24 hours, but the majority clear within 1 hour. A TIA may be a warning of an impending stroke, with the risk for a stroke being 4% to 8% during the first month following a TIA and 24% to 29% during the next 5 years.[2] Vascular disease in coronary arteries produces a spectrum of ischemic coronary syndromes that include stable angina, unstable angina, non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI; also known as non–Q-wave MI), and ST-segment elevation (STEMI; also known as Q-wave MI). Cardiovascular disease is the single largest cause of death in the United States.[3] Vascular disease in peripheral vessels, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), produces a variety of symptoms ranging from intermittent claudication to pain at rest.[4] Patients with the most serious PAD have critical limb ischemia that produces pain at rest and threatens the viability of the limb by increasing the risk for gangrene and necrosis.[4] PAD is a strong marker for cardiovascular disease. Over a 10-year period, PAD increases risk for death due to cardiovascular disease approximately 6-fold.[5] Note: Plavix® (clopidogrel) is not indicated for all the conditions listed on this slide.
