O problema vem de fora para dentro - vasa vasorum

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound for imaging vasa vasorum: comparison with histopathology in a swine model of atherosclerosis

Eur J Echocardiogr (2010) 11 (8):659-664.

Conclusion Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is effective for in vivo detection of vasa vasorum in atherosclerotic plaques in the RFH swine model. After stimulation of atherosclerosis, contrast-enhanced ultrasound demonstrated a significantly increased IMT and significantly increased density of the vasa vasorum network in the developing atherosclerotic plaque, which was validated by histology.

A Aterosclerose pode ser causada por LDL vindo da luz arterial. Mas também pode vir da Vasa Vasorum.

Evidências de aumento da vasa vasorum e eventos clínicos relacionadas a Aterosclerose aparecem todos os dias em revistas científicas.

Agora, demonstrar com o uso de microbolhas, é demais!
