动脉粥样硬化易损斑块的影像学诊断进展

Progresses in imaging vulnerable plaque of atherosclerosis

动脉粥样硬化导致心脑血管疾病是影响人类健康的主要原因,斑块破裂导致的血栓和栓塞约占心脑血管事件的70%。早期发现易引发缺血事件的易损斑块并及时给予治疗,对于预防和减少心脑血管事件的发生意义重大。本文综述近年来各种影像诊断技术检测易损斑块的研究进展,旨在为临床正确应用影像新技术检测易损斑块、预防和降低心脑血管事件的发生提供帮助。

Atherosclerosis disease is the leading cause of major morbidity and mortality in human, and thrombosis andembolism from plaque rupture accounts for 70% of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. The plaque prone to result insuch clinical events is termed vulnerable plaque. The early detection and timely treatment of this kind of plaque may preventcardiovascular events and improve the prognosis. This article reviewed the recent progresses of imaging in detecting vulner-able plaque in order to improve the clinical diagnosis, treatments and the prognosis of cardiovascular and cerebrovasculardisease.
