This study included patients with carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques to conduct multimodal ultrasound examinations, aiming to establish a plaque vulnerability assessment model based on ultrasonic imaging indicators, clinical history, and laboratory indicators. Based on the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events during the 3-year follow-up period, the correlation between the vulnerability of carotid plaques and the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events was explored. Furthermore, a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk prediction model for patients with plaques was established by combining multi-dimensional data indicators such as patients\' clinical data and ultrasonic multimodal imaging data, forming a risk warning tool suitable for clinical use and providing a reference for risk management in patients with carotid artery plaques. Research Objectives： 1. To establish a plaque vulnerability assessment model based on ultrasonic imaging indicators of plaques, clinical indicators of patients, and laboratory indicators. 2. To establish a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk prediction model for patients with carotid plaques by combining clinical indicators of patients and ultrasonic multimodal imaging data. 3. To screen ultrasonic imaging indicators for predicting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.

Current understanding suggests that the majority of cardiovascular events are driven by vulnerable plaques. Nonetheless, the impact of PCSK9 inhibitors on the stability of carotid plaques remains insufficiently elucidated, with a notable scarcity of relevant clinical studies. This investigation seeks to address this gap through a real-world study conducted among patients with arterial sclerosis in Asia. The primary aim is to evaluate the effects of small interfering RNA (inclisiran) on carotid plaque characteristics as assessed by ultrasound, thereby contributing valuable data to inform clinical practice.
NCT06187532
Carotid ultrasonography has been proposed as a tool for prediction of future cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nevertheless, its role in clinical practice remains controversial. Methods: The investigators analyse the incidence of CVD and mortality in a cohort of 1004 participants without preexisting CVD according to a simple plaque scale recorded in different segments of the carotid artery assess by ultrasound. A prognostic tool for CV events was development adding Carotid Plaque-Burden (CPB) scale to the Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE2) table (CPB- SCORE2 scale).

This multicenter study involved 5 hospitals (Changhai Hospital; Yueyang Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine; Gongli Hospital; Putuo Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine; No. 904 Hospital of the PLA Joint Logistics Support Force Wuxi). The study enrolled 5000 consecutive patients without known CAD who underwent first coronary angiography for stable chest pain and carotid ultrasound was performed during hospitalization from January 2017 through December 2018.

The project will be properly embedded in the clinical practice landscape to both provide a real-world context for research requirements gathering and research result assessment, and a practical application context from the industrial perspective. The landing is planned for cardiology solutions as carotid plaque assessment that can be value-adding features to tackle the current challenges of stroke prediction. The development of stroke prediction model could accelerate the R\&D process and land to key market ultrasound prototypes/products in an agile way. Collaboration and alignment with key market business and R\&D (China Digital Innovation CDI) through workshops and hackathons will be a unique feature of this agile project.
NCT03665818
1. The purpose of this study is to detect the differences of carotid atherosclerosis severity between patients with or without OSAHS(Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hypopnea Syndrome) in a cross-sectional study in a large sample. 2. Then a longitudinal control study is conducted to observe the progress of the carotid atherosclerosis by vascular ultrasonography and the occurrence of cerebrovascular events after the intervention of the oral appliance for treating OSAHS，and finally explore the feasibility of using oral appliance to treat OSAHS in primary prevention of ischemic stroke.
