Arterial Stiffness, Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome in Children and Adolescents
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Western Societies. The pathological processes and risk factors associated with its development begin in childhood, long before clinical consequences emerge. Cardiovascular risk factors have been shown to cluster together …

Development of a Vascularized Carotid Artery Plaque Phantom for the Investigation of Novel Ultrasound-Based Technologies
As the global burden of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease continues to rise, there is an increased demand for improved imaging techniques for earlier detection and diagnosis of atherosclerotic plaques, and for quantitative measures of disease progression. Vulnerable plaque lesions are thought …

Medicina de precisión: ncRNAs como herramienta diagnóstica para pacientes con intolerancia a estatinas de alto y muy alto riesgo cardiovascular
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Western populations and its association with dyslipidaemia is unquestionable. Statins are the treatment of first choice for their control, and are considered the cornerstone in the treatment of CVD. …

Associations between affective traits and endothelial function in depressed adults
… adults are at increased risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, heterogeneity in the depressed population engenders a key question: Are there subgroups of depressed adults at greater risk of developing CVD? Because other affective traits – i.e., anxiety, …

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 …
