Sex-specific association between inflammation and endothelial function relevant gene and vulnerable carotid plaque

Sex-specific association between inflammation and endothelial function relevant gene and vulnerable carotid plaque

Objectives: We aimed to explore sex-specific association between genes involved in inflammation and endothelial function and vulnerable carotid plaque, a subclinical precursor of ischemic stroke.Methods: Carotid plaque and plaque phenotype were assessed by carotid ultrasound in high-risk participant...
