Connective Tissue Growth Factor Is Associated With a Stable Atherosclerotic Plaque Phenotype and Is Involved in Plaque Stabilization After Stroke

22 Oct 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Carotid plaques remodel toward a more stable phenotype after stroke, but not after TIA. Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is involved in extracellular matrix production and is expressed in atherosclerotic plaques. We studied the role of CTGF in plaque remodeling after stroke and TIA. METHODS: Atherosclerotic plaques from carotid endarterectomy of asymptomatic patients (n = 16) and...
