Advances in the Association between Atherosclerotic Plaques in Multiple Vascular Bed and Cerebrovascular Events

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1673-5765.2020.02.017

Abstract

Abstract:

The pathological characteristics and risk factors of atherosclerotic plaques in cerebral arteries, coronary arteries and peripheral arteries were different. The atherosclerotic plaque in single vascular bed or multiple vascular beds has a certain predictive value for cerebrovascular events. This article reviewed the pathogenesis, disease characteristics and related risks of atherosclerosis in different vascular beds, to provide reference for the etiological diagnosis, treatment and prevention of atherosclerotic stroke.

Key words: Atherosclerosis; Multiple vascular bed; Pathology; Stroke; Cerebrovascular event

摘要：

脑动脉、冠状动脉及周围动脉的粥样硬化斑块的病理特点及危险因素具有一定差异性。而单一血管床及多血管床的动脉粥样硬化斑块均对脑血管事件具有一定的预测价值。本文对以上内容进行综述，旨在更好地理解不同血管床动脉粥样硬化的发病过程、疾病特征及相关风险，为动脉粥样硬化卒中的病因学诊断、治疗和预防提供参考。
