The Paradox Effect of Calcification in Carotid Atherosclerosis: Microcalcification is Correlated with Plaque Instability
Background: this study aims to investigate the possible association among the histopathologic features of carotid plaque instability, the presence of micro- or macrocalcifications, the expression of in situ inflammatory biomarkers, and the occurrence of the major risk factors in this process in a la...
