Women had lower baseline percent atheroma volume (PAV) and total atheroma volume (TAV) than men, but after treatment they demonstrated greater PAV regression (P = 0.03) and TAV regression (P = 0.11).

Intraplaque hemorrhage is common in advanced coronary atherosclerotic lesions. The relation between hemorrhage and the vulnerability of plaque to disruption may involve the accumulation of free ...

These events are due to the formation of atheroma plaques in the arteries, a process known as atherosclerosis. Atheroma plaques can rupture, releasing their contents and triggering the blood ...

The root cause of most cases of cardiovascular disease is a build-up of atheroma - a fatty deposit within the lining of arteries. Dr. Michelle Cooper examines lifestyle factors that can reduce the ...
