This comprehensive review explores the various scenarios of atherosclerosis, a systemic and chronic arterial disease that underlies most cardiovascular disorders. Starting from an overview its insidious development, often asymptomatic until it reaches advanced stages, delves into pathophysiological evolution atherosclerotic lesions, highlighting central role inflammation. Insights clinical manifestations, including heart attacks strokes, highlight disease’s significant burden on global...
We assessed the role of glucose and insulin in regulation circulating levels soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) vascular (sVCAM-1) normal subjects patients with type 2 diabetes.Plasma concentrations were acutely raised 10 newly diagnosed, complication-free diabetic maintained at 15 mmol/L for hours. In subjects, plasma sICAM-1, but not sVCAM-1, rose significantly (P<0.01) 1 hour returned to basal values another study, octreotide was infused during hyperglycemic clamp block...
Background The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the vasodilator response brachial artery and presence carotid lesions may have a prognostic significance in patients with early stages atherosclerosis. Methods results Vascular echography performed analyze flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD) at intima–media thickness (IMT) arteries 84 asymptomatic patients. At baseline, we evaluated all established traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Transient ischemic attack, stroke, effort...
The need for unobtrusive HR (heart rate) monitoring has led to the development of a new generation strapless monitors. aim this study was determine whether such an unobtrusive, wrist-worn optical monitor (OHRM) could be equivalent and therefore valid alternative traditional chest strap during broad range activities in heterogeneous healthy population coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. One hundred ninety-nine volunteers, 84 males 115 females, including 35 overweight-obese subjects, 53...
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common valvular heart disease in the Western populations, with an estimated overall prevalence of 3% adults over 75 years. To understand its patho-biological processes represents priority. In elderly patients, AS usually involves trileaflet valves and referred to as degenerative calcific processes. Scientific evidence suggests involvement active "atherosclerosis-like" pathogenesis initiation phase AS. contrary, progression could be driven by different forces (such...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) made its first appearance in 1956, and since then it has progressively introduced itself healthcare system patients’ information care. AI functions can be grouped under the following headings: Machine Learning (ML), Deep (DL), Neural Network (ANN), Convolutional (CNN), Computer Vision (CV). Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) represents last stage of peripheral artery disease (PAD), increased over recent years, together with rise prevalence diabetes...
BackgroundShort-term (within 6 weeks follow-up) clinical studies indicate that implantation of bone marrow cells (BMCs) into ischemic limbs may improve peripheral ischemia. Here, the long-term safety and feasibility intraarterial autologous BMCs with oral treatment antioxidants L-arginine were investigated in patients critical ischemia on account advanced atherosclerotic arterial disease (PAD).
Cardiovascular diseases in women still rises and remains their leading cause of death most developed countries; yet we have less sex-specific data than men as a result lower enrollment clinical trials low rates reporting. The aim our study was to evaluate hypertensive postmenopausal the potential predictive role markers inflammation, for example, fibrinogen C-reactive protein (CRP), on subclinical atherosclerosis, beyond that other established cardiovascular risk factors. We studied 127...
