Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recent studies revealed that inflammation contributes to plaque instability. Cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 is one of the key enzymes in plaque inflammation. We examined the relation between a polymorphism in the COX-2 gene and carotid plaque echogenicity in patients with high ri...
