Effect of statins on arterial wall inflammation as assessed by 18F-FDG PET CT: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Cardiovascular Imaging 4 min.
Statins are among the most widely used medications, which have many beneficial effects on preventing the progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) [1, 2–3]. The main anti-atherosclerotic mechanism of statins is based on LDL-cholesterol reduction. However, numerous biological...
Associations of Central Arterial Stiffness With Brain White Matter Integrity and Gray Matter Volume in MRI Across the Adult Lifespan
Cardiovascular Imaging 6 min.
With the aging population, major public health challenges are the rising numbers of age‐related cognitive decline and neurodegeneration such as Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Examination of brain white matter (WM) microstructural organization using MRI‐based diffusion tensor...
Morphological Study on Lenticulostriate Arteries in Patients With Middle Cerebral Artery Stenosis at 7 T MRI
Cardiovascular Imaging 5 min.
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis is a major cause of stroke worldwide, with its prevalence being the highest in Asia. Most intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis occur in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in Asian populations. The lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs) are perforating arteries that mainly...
