Improving Estimation of Coronary Artery Disease Risk Using Haptoglobin Genotyping
<p>Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide. While several risk factors contributing to disease progression are well-known, pitfalls and limitations exist for estimating if or when an individual will develop the disease. Coronary artery …

The role of Serum Amyloid A1(SAA1) in coronary artery disease
… regarded as crucial to the pathogenesis of the disease. Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) and serum amyloid A2 (SAA2) (A-SAA) are acute-phase proteins (APPs); the concentration of A-SAA can increase by 500-1000 fold during an acute systemic inflammation (Malle et al. 1993). The predominant form of A-SAA …

Oxidative stress in endothelial cells of patients with coronary artery disease
… the development of endothelial dysfunction and coronary artery disease (CAD). The prevalence of CAD in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is more than ten times greater than in the general population and CAD patients with T2D display poorer clinical outcomes than those without. Previous …

Noninvasive evaluation of patients with coronary artery disease and heart failure
In dit proefschrift worden patiënten bestudeerd met een voorgeschiedenis van coronair lijden en hartfalen. De thesis is onderverdeeld in drie delen: 1. Niet-invasieve inschatting van vuldrukken door middel van geavanceerde echocardiografische technieken 2. Selectie van kandidaten voor cardiale …

Patient-specific blood flow modelling in diagnosis of coronary artery disease
… the approach for development of patient-specific coronary blood flow models in 3D and 0D domains based on coronary artery geometries reconstructed from Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography datasets (CCTA). The computed flow patterns extend the diagnostic value of CCTA, which, being noninvasive …

THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SECONDARY PREVENTION MEASURES FOR CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Heart disease, and in particular coronary artery disease (CAD), has long been one of the leading causes of death in the US. In order to reduce the morbidity and mortality from CAD, secondary prevention practice guidelines have been developed by the major cardiovascular societies in the US and …

Motivational determinants of physical activity in patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease
In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), physical activity has a positive impact on physiological and psychological health. Despite the clear benefits of regular physical activity (PA) on recovery from CAD and overall health, only a small proportion of cardiac patients are active enough to …

Feasibility of Passive Acoustic Detection of Coronary Artery Disease Utilizing Source Separation
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death in both the United States and the world at large. This is primarily due to the extreme difficulty associated with preemptive diagnosis of CAD. Currently, only about 20% of all patients are diagnosed with CAD prior to the occurrence of …

Predicting Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography for Stable Angina
… the pre-test probability of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients presenting with chest pain is key in determining the next steps in management. The Diamond-Forrester model, or an updated version, are currently recommended to calculate a patient’s pre-test probability of …

Regional myocardial perfusion : experimental and clinical studies in patients with coronary artery disease
Coronary artery disease has become a world wide medical problem. There is an overwhelming association between coronary atherosclerosis, angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction and sudden death. The narrowing of coronary arteries is thought to damage the heart by limiting appropriate changes in …

Prognostic value of serial exercise test results in physically active coronary artery disease patients
… importance in the setting of severe-moderate coronary artery disease (CAD) and early post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients can also differentiate which physically active male patients with lesser disease and/or old MIs (undergoing serial GXT evaluation and an exercise maintenance program) …

Coronary artery disease in metabolic syndrome: a role for the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death among Americans and is fueled by underlying metabolic syndrome (MetS). The prevalence and lethality of CAD necessitates rigorous investigations into its underlying mechanisms and to facilitate the development of effective treatment options. …

The nature of cachexia in patients with heart failure and stable coronary artery disease
… in patients with heart failure (HF) and stable coronary artery disease (CAD), to quantify the loss of muscle mass, and test the hypothesis that muscle wasting is mediated by the activation of tissue cytokines and cell cycle inhibitors. We studied five subject groups. Three were groups of …

The Ventilatory Threshold and Maximal Steady-State Exercise in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
BACKGROUND: Previous research has shown that the ventilatory threshold (VT) correlates highly with onset of lactate accumulation and maximal steady-state exercise (MSS) level. Also, studies have shown the VT is useful in prescribing exercise for cardiac patients in that it gives an exercise …
