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 …

Mining Genomic Variants And Causal Pathways Linking Hdl And Triglycerides To Coronary Disease
Blood lipids are important biomarkers of risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), the leading cause of death in the world. Myriad data support a causal role of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in increasing risk of CHD. Long-standing epidemiology suggests that high-density lipoprotein …

Impact of family history of premature coronary disease on carotid ultrasound and coronary calcium findings
… relatives (FDRs) of subjects with early onset of coronary heart disease (CHD) have higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. We verified early CHD by angiography in the index patients and extensively phenotyped their FDRs to investigate the relationship of traditional and non-traditional …

Development of rate related exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and risk of selected coronary disease endpoints
… known to have prognostic importance, in the coronary artery disease population generally, can differentiate certain cardiovascular morbidity and mortality endpoints among physically active patients. Data were obtained in 1989 at three community-based cardiac rehabilitation programs from three …

Influence of resistance training on vascular function, hemodynamic, and perceived exertion responses to fixed submaximal workloads in patients with coronary disease
… resistance training (RT) in aerobically trained coronary patients on systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE; 6–20 scale), and rate pressure product (RPP) at fixed submaximal workloads following a 12-week RT intervention. Additionally, pre-and post-RT …

HDL Phospholipid and ABCA1-Mediated Cholesterol Efflux Are Reduced in Patients with Very High HDL-C Who Develop Early Coronary Artery Disease
… (HDL-C) are strongly inversely associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), and high HDL-C is generally associated with apparent ‘protection’ from CAD. OBJECTIVE: We identified a number of individuals with high HDL-C levels who develop CAD, a paradoxical phenotype and hypothesized that such …

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. …

Relationship of Periodontal Status and Periodontal Infection with Coronary Artery Disease // Връзка на пародонталния статус и пародонталната инфекция с коронарната болест
The thesis examines the relationship between coronary artery disease and periodontitis. Both diseases are extremely common worldwide, and a relationship between the two has been discussed for decades, without any definitive proof. We investigated the relationship between the severity of periodontal …

Genetic regulation of dietary restriction-induced longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans
… pathologies, including cardiovascular disease, multiple types of cancer, several neurodegenerative disorders, and diabetes. Short-term DR also reduces the risk of coronary disease and stroke in humans. Clearly, identification of the genetic mechanisms underlying these protective effects …

Health Belief and Compliance of Health Behavior According to Recurrence in Patients with Coronary Artery Occlusive Disease (CAOD)
… of health behavior in relation to recurrence of Coronary Artery Occlusive Disease(CAOD), and to analyze correlation between them. A total of 55 Cardiology patients from a A university hospital participated in the study. Of the participants, 23 patients who admitted because of recurrence of CAOD …

New Paradigm of Defibrillation: Towards Painless Therapy
… patients receiving ICD therapy have a history of coronary disease; their hearts develop myocardium infarction, which could provide a substrate for reentrant tachy-arrhythmias. Other than lethal ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation: AF) became the most common arrhythmia by affecting 2.2 to …

Novel insights into megakaryopoiesis, thrombopoiesis and acute coronary thrombosis: transcriptome profiling of the haematopoietic stem cell, megakaryocyte and platelet
… findings to the pathological setting of acute coronary thrombosis. To investigate transcriptional heterogeneity within the human HSC population, single cell RNA sequencing was performed in human bone marrow HSCs. Transcriptionally distinct subpopulations were identified including two …

Coronary risk factors in women in the United Kingdom
Coronary heart disease (CHD) has traditionally been regarded as a male disease and, because of this, the magnitude of the problem in women is often overlooked. Yet, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CHD in particular, remains, next to cancer, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women. …

Comparison of Patient-Reported Angina with Provider Assigned Canadian Cardiovascular Society Angina Class Before and After Revascularization
… 160 international sites to either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), CCS was reported by physicians and the SAQ was completed by patients prior to randomization and 1 year later. SAQ angina frequency (SAQ AF) scores were considered to correspond …

Nuclear and Molecular Imaging Modalities for Predicting Calcific Aortic Valve Disease Progression in Animal Models
Introduction and Objectives Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most common valvular disease, accounting for 50% of all valve disorders and is the third most common cardiovascular disease following coronary disease and hypertension.[1,2] Currently, there is no pharmacological agent capable …

Novel molecular imaging of cardiovascular disease in man
Cardiovascular disease remains the commonest cause of death worldwide. The majority of deaths are caused by atherosclerotic plaque rupture with resultant myocardial infarction or stroke, or rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Conventional imaging modalities have consistently failed to identify …

Evaluation of alterations in cardiovascular structure and function in end-stage renal failure.
… fistula formation in advanced chronic kidney disease, and the impact of elective arterio-venous fistula ligation following successful renal transplantation. Furthermore, we undertook to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of dobutamine-stress CMR in the detection of haemodynamically‐significant …

The Relationship between Meat Consumption and the Biological Determinants of Cardiovascular Disease Risk
<p>Fasting blood samples were collected from 26 omnivore and 27 vegetarian men (35-60 years of age), who were not taking any medications and by self-assessment were in good health. The following analyses were done: glucose (Glu), glycohemoglobin (HBA1), total serum cholesterol (chole), high density …

Improving Coronary Artery Disease Diagnostics with Massively Parallel, Personalized Flow Models and Immersive Treatment Planning.
<p>Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for more than 17 million deaths per year, a number that is expected to double by 2030. Atherosclerosis is the most common manifestation of CVDs, affecting large and medium-sized blood vessels such as coronary …

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 …
