The Relationship of Coronary Atherosclerosis Progression to Cognition
Subclinical atherosclerosis has been linked to poorer cognitive performance. Most of the literature investigating the relationship between atherosclerosis and cognitive functioning has utilized the carotid artery as an indicator. Few studies have examined the association between cognitive …

The assessment of biomechanical modelling and PET/MR imaging in coronary atherosclerosis
The life-threatening acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) are caused mainly by the rupture of the coronary atherosclerotic plaques. Angiography-defined luminal stenosis is the only validated criterion for clinical decision making. However, post-mortem studies showed that only 14% of myocardial …

Prediction of Coronary Atherosclerosis Development: A Study Based on the Combination of Mechanomics and Radiomics
Atherosclerosis is the precursor to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the leading cause of death and disability globally. Coronary artery disease (CAD) from atherosclerosis significantly contributes to CVDs. Despite their primary role in delivering oxygenated blood to the myocardium, the anatomical …

hs-CRP level represents the disease burden and the age but not vulnerability of coronary atherosclerosis
… been known as a systemic inflammatory marker of atherosclerosis and considered as one of the predictors of future cardiac events. Some reports presented hs-CRP level was associated with plaque vulnerability but most studies were performed by assessing focal target plaque but not whole plaques …

Association of Aortic Vascular Stiffness with Epicardial and Pericardial Adipose Tissues on 64-Multidetector Computed Tomography : In Relation with Coronary Atherosclerosis
… vascular stiffness is an early marker of atherosclerosis and is associated with cardiovascular risk factors. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) and adipose tissues are accurate markers of overall burden of coronary atherosclerosis and metabolic status, respectively. We evaluated the relation of …

TO FACIAL FEATURES AS A NEW BIOMARKER FOR EARLY IDENTIFICATION OF HIGH-RISK ATHEROSCLEROSIS: A TRANSLATIONAL APPROACH
… tool for early identification of high-risk coronary atherosclerosis. However, no validated biomarkers or scores are available to identify patients who may benefit from CCT in primary prevention. Aim of the present study was to explore for the first time the potential role of facial features …

Metabolic and endocrine aspects of coronary disease
… early history, the nature and the incidence of coronary atherosclerosis and ischaemic heart disease have been reviewed. Evidence has been presented to suggest that there are aetiological factors which favour the development of ischaemic heart disease without influencing the incidence of coronary …

Hospital Inpatient Cost And Discharge Status Of Diabetes And Its Complications In The U.S.
… diseases-related hospitalization cohort, and coronary atherosclerosis-related hospitalization cohort. In each cohort, hospitalization cost was calculated by multiplication of the total hospitalization charge by the cost-to-charge ratio. Hospitalization discharge status was dichotomized as …

Usefulness of Echocardiographic Epicardial Adipose Tissue Assessment in Patients with Angina
… epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) to coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors, including the metabolic syndrome (MS), and the extent of coronary atherosclerosis. BACKGROUND: The clinical significance of EAT for CAD, which has been observed during transthoracic echocardiography, has …

Coronary Artery Pathology in Patients with Peri-implantitis // Патология на коронарните артерии при пациенти с периимплантит
… resorption — and pathological changes in the coronary arteries. The study aims to evaluate whether patients with peri-implantitis exhibit a higher prevalence and more severe forms of coronary artery disease. Additionally, a comparison was made between coronary artery pathology in patients with …

Cocaine Induces Apoptosis in Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells: Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms
… contractility, elevated blood pressure, coronary artery vasoconstriction, and myocardial ischemia and infarction. The multifactorial effects of cocaine often contribute to its sympathomimetic function. However, the direct cytotoxic effects of cocaine on the cardiovascular system, …

Biomechanical Analysis of Human Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques in Response to Pharmacotherapy, and in Predicting Adverse Clinical Events
… and morbidity worldwide, is often the result of coronary plaque rupture. Previous histological work has demonstrated that ruptured plaques are associated with higher stress, with in vivo intravascular studies linking higher plaque structural stress (PSS) with the presentation of acute coronary …

Improving Cardiovascular Risk Assessment with CT Coronary Angiography and Myocardial CT Perfusion
Accurate assessments of coronary atherosclerosis, calcification and myocardial perfusion are necessary to determine future cardiovascular risk in various clinical settings. CT coronary angiography (CTCA) and myocardial CT perfusion (CTP) are promising techniques for the assessment of these factors. …

Molecular imaging of calcification and inflammation in aortic valve disease and atherosclerosis
… Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) and atherosclerosis are important public health problems. Our ability to allocate patients to treatment strategies optimally and monitor progression is limited. Hybrid positron emission and computed tomography (PET/CT) is able to demonstrate both …

Neurohormonal and inflammatory markers in valvular heart disease
… be an inflammatory disease with similarities to coronary atherosclerosis. To further address this issue, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) was measured in 20 patients with non-rheumatic aortic stenosis, 19 patients with non-rheumatic aortic regurgitation and 31 healthy controls, as well …

Investigation Into The Role Of Biomechanical Forces In Determining The Behaviour of Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques
… the world. Rupture of an advanced atheromatous coronary plaque precipitates the majority of these clinical events, resulting in thrombosis and myocardial infarction. Post-mortem studies have identified thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) as the plaque subtype most prone to rupture with prospective …

Inflammation and haemostasis in the development and progression of peripheral atherosclerotic disease
… marker of the underlying peripheral and systemic atherosclerosis. Recent advances in vascular biology proposed a role of inflammatory and haemostatic mechanisms in atherosclerotic disease. Although inflammatory and haemostatic markers have been associated with coronary atherosclerosis in large …

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 …
