An interesting link between biomarkers and carotid plaque echogenicity has been studied over the past few years, with biomarkers representing a part of the pathophysiologic process that leads to the development of a plaque with the respective morphological characteristics. The role of cytokines, vascular calcification markers, HbA1c, MMPs, soluble CD36 and CD40 ligand, RBP 4, OxLDL, and CRP is reviewed.
