Recent findings from Karolinska University highlight research in atherosclerosis.(Report)
According to a study from Stockholm, Sweden, " The aim of this study was to assess the atherosclerotic plaques in a large asymptomatic population stratified based on age and sex. Methods [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)-PET/CT of 100 men and 100 women, divided in four age groups were examined to assess FDG-accumulating active, calcified inactive and mixed atherosclerotic plaques in eight defined vessel segments."
" There was a high correlation between the total number of cardiovascular risk factors and the number of FDG-accumulating active plaques as well as the number of calcified inactive plaques. There was a significant difference in the number of plaques between all age-groups except for active plaques in age groups 60-70 and 80-90 years. There is a correlation between the number of cardiovascular risk factors and the number of FDG-accumulating atherosclerotic lesions in this patient material," wrote J. Wasselius and colleagues, Karolinska University (see also Atherosclerosis).
