Microvascular outcomes of a pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia
Background Preeclampsia (PE) in pregnancy is associated with future cardiovascular disease through poorly understood mechanisms. Endothelial dysfunction persists in women following PE in pregnancy. We hypothesized that microvascular endothelial dysfunction associated with PE may be a postpartum mechanism of incipient cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to examine the association of prior PE to postpartum changes in maternal microvascular endothelial function.
DEVELOPMENT OF A VASCULARIZED CAROTID ARTERY PLAQUE PHANTOM FOR THE VALIDATION OF A NOVEL ULTRASOUND-BASED QUANTIFICATION TOOL
As the global burden of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease continues to rise, there is an increased demand for improved imaging techniques for earlier detection and diagnosis of atherosclerotic plaques. Vulnerable plaque lesions are thought to be responsible for the majority of cardiovascular events, characterized by a large lipid core, a thin fibrous cap, and neovascularization; features that increase the risk of plaque rupture and thrombosis.

FiguresThe majority of cardiovascular events are caused by soft, neovascularized plaque lesions thought to be vulnerable to rupture. In vascular ultrasound, tissue composition analysis and plaque echogenicity are two techniques used to detect characteristics of plaque vulnerability.

FiguresSymptomatic patients are referred for coronary angiography primarily on the basis of presenting symptoms, stress testing, and cardiovascular risk factors. Regardless of these indications, up to 40% of patients undergoing angiography are found to have normal coronaries.
