Article Abstract
A femtosecond CARS-based nonlinear optical microscope was used to simultaneously image extracellular structural proteins and lipid-rich structures within intact aortic tissue obtained from myocardial infarction-prone Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbits (WHHLMI). Clear differences in the NLO microscopic images were observed between healthy arterial tissue and regions dominated by atherosclerotic lesions. In the current ex-vivo study, we present a single parameter based on intensity changes derived from multi-channel NLO image to classify plaque burden within the vessel. Using this parameter we were able to differentiate between healthy regions of the vessel and regions with plaque, as well as distinguish plaques relative to the age of the WHHLMI rabbit.

Plaque Magnetic Resonance Imaging Based Decision Rule for the Selection of Symptomatic Patients for Carotid Revascularisation: Clinician Perspectives on Acceptability and Implementation Barriers in the Netherlands.
Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg

Department of Epidemiology, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands. Electronic address:
Objective: The current selection of patients for carotid revascularisation is mainly based on neurological symptoms and the degree of carotid artery stenosis. Individualised MRI based PRediction scOre using plaque Vulnerability for symptomatic carotid artEry disease patients (IMPROVE) can identify high risk patients who may benefit from carotid revascularisation, based on intraplaque haemorrhage, stenosis severity, cerebral symptoms, sex, and age. For use in clinical trials and eventual practice, the decision rule must be acceptable to clinicians.

Objective: This study aimed to enhance major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) prediction by pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCATa) in non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) patients when combined with lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)).
Methods: A total of 1052 patients with non-obstructive CAD were included. Detailed clinical data and CCTA features were analyzed.
Leveraging GPT-4o for Automated Extraction and Categorization of CAD-RADS Features From Free-Text Coronary CT Angiography Reports: Diagnostic Study.

Departments of Radiology, The Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, 600 Tianhe Road, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 510630, China, 86 18922109279, 86 20852523108.
Background: Despite the Coronary Artery Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) providing a standardized approach, radiologists continue to favor free-text reports. This preference creates significant challenges for data extraction and analysis in longitudinal studies, potentially limiting large-scale research and quality assessment initiatives.
Objective: To evaluate the ability of the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT)-4o model to convert real-world coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) free-text reports into structured data and automatically identify CAD-RADS categories and P categories.
Coronary Plaque Volume in an Asymptomatic Population: Miami Heart Study at Baptist Health South Florida.
JACC Cardiovasc Imaging

Division of Cardiovascular Prevention and Wellness, Department of Cardiology, Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center, Houston, Texas, USA.
Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA)-derived plaque burden is associated with the risk of cardiovascular events and is expected to be used in clinical practice. Understanding the normative values of computed tomography-based quantitative plaque volume in the general population is clinically important for determining patient management.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the distribution of plaque volume in the general population and to develop nomograms using MiHEART (Miami Heart Study) at Baptist Health South Florida, a large community-based cohort study.
Associations Between Maternal Emotional States and Plaque Accumulation in Three-Year-Old Children: A Proxy Indicator of Caregiving Quality.

Department of Children and Women's Health, The University of Osaka Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka, JPN.
Background Plaque accumulation can lead to dental caries and periodontal disease and may reflect overall oral health status. As mothers are often the primary caregivers for children's oral hygiene, plaque in children may also serve as a proxy for caregiving quality. This study examined whether maternal emotional states are associated with the quality of caregiving, using children's plaque accumulation as a proxy indicator.
