Lower Limb Amputation in Patients with Vascular Disease
… The majority of these are patients with vascular disease (≈ 80%). In Sweden between 1000 and1100 new amputees can be expect every year. Less than 5% of all amputations will be related to causes other than vascular disease. Lower limb amputation (LEA) in patients with vascular disease may …

Lipoprotein(a) and the risk of vascular disease
… 40 years its relationship with coronary heart disease (CHD) has not been characterized in sufficient detail. Whether Lp(a) causes CHD is not clear. Furthermore, the role of apo(a) isoform variation and other sources of Lp(a) heterogeneity (e.g., level of oxidized phospholipids) in Lp(a)-disease …

Exercise training in patients with peripheral vascular disease
Patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) suffer from the symptom of intermittent claudication and are walking intolerant. However, it is not clear what contributes to walking intolerance in patients with PVD.

Elucidating how mutations in EIF2AK4 cause pulmonary vascular disease
Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is an incurable condition characterised by the progressive remodelling of pulmonary veins, venules and capillaries. This obstruction of the pulmonary vessels causes increased pulmonary pressures which leads to right ventricular hypertrophy, and death within …

I. Pulse-pressure in health, with some notes on the influence of cardio-vascular disease; & II. Pulse-pressure in certain cardio-vascular disease.
… WITH SOME NOTES ON THE INFLUENCE OF CARDIO-VASCULAR DISEASE (1) Most boys examined (9 - I4 years) have a pulse-pressure of 40 - 45 m.m. of mercury. (2) Pulse-pressure of youths from 15 - 20 years is 40 - 50 m.m. (3) The age-group 21 - 30, shows pulse-pressure mostly between 46 m.m. and 50 …

RNA-binding proteins mediate anti-inflammatory regulation of vascular disease
… regulator of HuR target transcripts in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). FXR1 was identified as an HuR interacting protein by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The-HuR-FXR1 interaction is abrogated in RNase-treated extracts, indicating that their association …

Physiological effects of exercise in patients with peripheral vascular disease
… exercise training in patients with lower-limb vascular disease.</p> <p>The main aim of the studies in Section 1 of this thesis was to investigate potential mechanisms by which arm-crank exercise training evokes improved walking performance in patients with intermittent claudication. In Study 1, …

Depressive Symptoms and Subclinical Vascular Disease: A Cross-Cultural Comparison
… & Kessler, 2005). Markers of subclinical cardiovascular disease have been associated with depression, and rates of most cardiovascular risk factors are higher in African Americans than Caucasians (Shaya, Gu, & Saunders, 2007). Whereas rates of atherosclerosis are similar across these groups …

Mechanism of Rare Variant In Acta2, P.Arg149Cys, Driving Diverse Vascular Disease
… (TAAD) and early-onset coronary artery disease (CAD). The most common <em>ACTA2</em> mutation is a genetic alteration of arginine 149 to a cysteine, <em>ACTA2</em> p.Arg149Cys, which accounts for disease in 24% of all <em>ACTA2</em> mutation carriers.(1) <em>ACTA2</em> p.Arg149Cys …

Total Plasma Homocysteine, Vitamins, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Peripheral Vascular Disease
… independent risk factor in the genesis of vascular diseases. There are few data on the relationship between homocysteine and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), and the effect of vitamin B<sub>12</sub> and folic acid blood levels on plasma homocysteine …

Thromboelastography in the assessment of coagulation changes in peripheral vascular disease
… in coagulation in patients with peripheral vascular disease(PVD) have consistently reported activation of coagulation based on measurement of raised levels of markers of activation of coagulation(clot formation), decreased fibrinolysis (breakdown of fibrin), platelet activation leading to …

Investigating the Mechanisms Underlying the Heterogeneous VSMC Contribution to Vascular Disease
In healthy blood vessels, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) exist in a contractile, quiescent state but upon vascular insult can switch phenotype to activate proliferation, migration and remodelling of the extracellular matrix. Phenotypically switched VSMCs contribute most cells within …

Assessment of capacity for vascular disease care in Argentina following consensus recommendations.
Background: Cardiovascular disease is the first cause of death in Argentina, accounting for more than 30% of deaths. Despite this significant healthcare burden, capacity assessment for vascular care has not been previously carried out in Argentina. The aim of this study was to perform an assessment …

Molecular Mechanisms of Vascular Disease In Patients With Rare Variants In Myh11
… aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) are the primary disease affecting the thoracic ascending aorta, with an incidence rate of 10.4/100,000. Although about 20% of patients carry a mutation in a single gene that causes their disease, the remaining 80% of patients may also have genetic factors that …

Early-Stage Research and Design of a Diagnostic Sensor for Peripheral Vascular Disease
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a blood circulation disorder that involves the narrowing and blocking of arteries in the lower extremities of the body. Symptoms of PVD include pain and restricted mobility, and as the disease progresses, it can lead to high risk of heart attack and stroke. PVD …

Brain derived neurotrophic factor and structural vascular disease in black Africans : the SABPA study
… in various neurological and psychiatric diseases, while recent evidence suggests a role for the neurotrophin on the periphery as well. Indeed, the specific functional role of BDNF and its action mechanism in the cardiovascular system, especially in that of Africans, is yet to be …
