The distinct contributions of cardiovascular risk factors to cognitive ageing
… it is not clear whether different aspects of cardiovascular health – such as blood pressure or heart rate – affect the brain through shared or independent pathways, partly because they are often condensed into a single composite score or examined in isolation. The research reported in the …

Cardiovascular risk factors and carotid intima-media thickness in systemic lupus erythematosus
목적 : 전신성 홍반성 루푸스(이하 루푸스)는 주로 가임기의 젊은 여성에게 많이 나타나는 자가면역 질환으로 정상인에 비해 조기에 죽상경화증이 발생하며 이는 루푸스 환자 사망의 중요한 원인이라고 알려져 있다. 이에 심혈관계 질환이 없는 루푸스 환자에서 죽상경화의 진행을 보여주는 경동맥 내막-중막 두께와 경동맥 플라크를 측정하여 정상인과 비교해보고 루푸스 질병 활성도를 나타내는 인자와의 관련성을 알아보고자 한다. 재료 및 방법 : 아주대학교 병원 류마티스 내과에서 미국 류마티스 학회에서 1982년 개정한 루푸스 진단 기준에 맞는 여성 …
