Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

  • Calcified carotid atherosclerotic plaque is associated less with ischemic symptoms than is noncalcified plaque on MDCT.
  • Little information on the material properties of atherosclerotic plaque is available, yet the properties govern the plaque's behavior.
  • Calcified Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque Is Associated Less with Ischemic Symptoms.
  • 2 Atherosclerotic plaque is a live tissue that, given a chance through poor diet, inactivity, high cholesterol, or excess weight, can grow and become progressively unstable.
  • Expansive remodeling of the atherosclerotic plaque is a double edged sword: on one hand it prevents occlusion of the lumen by plaque growth, on the other hand the plaque seems more prone to rupture and thrombosis.
