Large Artery Stiffness: Genes and Pathways
Aortic stiffness underlies systolic hypertension, promotes heart failure and is associated with in- creased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is regarded as a primary driver of left ventricular hypertrophy and aortic aneurysms and is linked to the pathogenesis of cognitive impairment, …

Predictive haemodynamics of the human carotid artery
… defined geometry of the human carotid artery bifurcation to better understand the relationship between a range of parameters and the associated haemodynamics and to devise strategies to provide guidance for clinical interventions and to assist in the design of stents and grafts. …

Computer Modelling Informed Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Coronary artery bypass grafting operations have been performed as a treatment for this disease for over 60 years. There has been recent interest in the exclusive use of arterial grafts as conduits for this operation, …

Relationship Between Intravascular Ultrasound Parameters and Fractional Flow Reserve in Intermediate Coronary Artery Stenosis of Left Anterior Descending Artery
… stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Myocardial ischemia was assessed by FFR and maximal hyperemia was induced by continuous intracoronary adenosine infusion. FFR < 0.80 was considered as significant inducible myocardial ischemia. We performed standard IVUS parameter …

The effects of preconditioning coronary artery disease patients with hyperbaric oxygen prior to coronary artery bypass graft surgery & cardiopulmonary bypass
IntroductionCoronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is associated with periods of ischaemia and reperfusion, which may lead to myocardial dysfunction. In clinical studies, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) treatment following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), has been shown to limit myocardial injury and …

Computational analysis on stent geometries in carotid artery
… invasive technique for treating the narrowed artery or stenosis in carotid artery to restore blood to the brain. However, the restenosis process is usually observed after a few weeks of carotid stenting due to abnormal progression of atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Many studies reported that …

Vitamin D, ADAM-12 and Carotid Artery Disease
Risk of hypertension, peripheral artery disease, myocardial infarction and development of human atherosclerosis has been linked to vitamin D deficiency. Atheromatous cytokines, including IL-6, TNF-α and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family growth factors are released at the site of …

Ischemia Impairs Vasodilation in Skeletal Muscle Resistance Artery
… ischemia and age on skeletal muscle resistance artery function. To examine the impact of chronic ischemia, the femoral artery was resected from young (2-3mo) and adult (6-7mo) mice and the profunda femoris artery diameter was measured at rest and following gracilis muscle contraction 14 days …

Outcomes of "off-pump" coronary artery bypass grafting in a developing country : advantages over coronary artery bypass grafting on cardiopulmonary bypass
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) was developed to avoid the deleterious effects of CPB. Current literature reveals some peri-operative advantages of OPCAB, with few studies detailing these in Africa. We review our institutional experience with both approaches in higher risk patients …

Coronary Artery Calcification and Its Progression in Cancer Patients
Research over the last several decades has demonstrated that cancer and its corresponding therapies are associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease in cancer survivors as compared to the general population. Though several mechanisms have been proposed, the reasons for this …

Stretch-Dependant Tonic Force Maintenance in Rabbit Epigastric Artery
… a process known as Ca2+ sensitization.Epigastric artery (EA) has a unique regulatory mechanism controlled by the degree of stretch applied on the artery which produces an increase in tonic force maintenance. Tonic force in EA is blocked equally at all lengths by the ROK inhibitor Y-27632, …
