| Research Abstract |
We reconstructed MDCT images of the patients of carotid stenoses and calculated Agatston scores (AS). Gene tip expression array analysis was performed after extraction of mRNAs from carotid plaques. Over double difference was noted for the intensity of the expression for inflammation-related genes after comparison of specimens classified based on AS100. Upregulation of NFAT, ADAMTS, Angptl4 and downregulation of Angptl7 were observed in severely calcified plaques.
