Angiotensin II-accelerated vulnerability of carotid plaque in a cholesterol-fed rabbit model-assessed with magnetic resonance imaging comparing to histopathology

Angiotensin II-accelerated vulnerability of carotid plaque in a cholesterol-fed rabbit model-assessed with magnetic resonance imaging comparing to histopathology

This study sought to reveal the effect of angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced atherosclerotic vulnerability in rabbits and to determine whether in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can determine the effect of Ang II on atherosclerotic development over time. In total, 24 elderly male New Zealand whit...
