Screening asymptomatic subjects for subclinical atherosclerosis: can we, does it matter, and should we?

Abstract

Unheralded vaso-occlusive cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, sudden death, and stroke) are common manifestations of atherothrombotic vascular disease, and accurate identification of individuals at risk of such events is highly desirable. Risk factor assessment and management have been the cornerstones of preventive strategies but are constrained by less than desirable accuracy and less than optimal compliance, respectively. In selected populations, noninvasive imaging using carotid ultrasound and/or coronary calcium score can incrementally refine risk assessment and may allow for improved adherence and better matching of preventive interventions to the magnitude of risk. Further refinements in the future may also be possible with novel biomarkers and measures of plaque phenotype.

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
