Bacteria and coronary atheroma: more fingerprints but no smoking gun.
For the better part of 2 decades, scientists from many disciplines have explored the role of innate and acquired immunity in mediating vascular atherosclerosis.1–4 Remarkably, many of the distal mechanisms involved in the chronic inflammatory process that is atherosclerosis are mediated by the same cellular mechanisms that are “primed” to protect the body from microbial invasion. This recogniza...
متن کاملMultivessel coronary artery disease: atheroma progression and dynamic component
Multivessel or multisegment spasm in patients with known widespread coronary atherosclerotic disease is an infrequent occurrence. We describe a prolonged spasm of both the left main and the left anterior descending artery in a patient with chronic effort angina and multivessel coronary artery disease, who previously underwent percutaneous coronary intervention and drug eluting stents implantati...
متن کاملFactors underlying regression of coronary atheroma with potent statin therapy.
AIMS Statins can inhibit the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. We aimed to characterize clinical factors that associate with differing measures of coronary atheroma volume following potent statin therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS SATURN employed serial intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to monitor changes in measures of coronary atheroma burden [total atheroma volume (TAV) and per cent atherom...

THE purpose of the preselnt paper is to point out certain similarities in fatty plaques of the cornea aiid of blood vessels, both in manl anid ini hypercholesteremic rab)bits, and to suggest a commoim pathogenesis. The following resume is based onl a (clinieopathologic study of approximately a dozen cases of lipid plaques ill the humiiani cornea, approximately the sanme number ill the rabbit co...
متن کاملInsulin and atheroma.
Many clinical studies have shown an increased insulin response to oral glucose in patients with ischemia of the heart, lower limbs, or brain. Hyperinsulinemia also occurs in patients with angiographically proved atherosclerosis without ischemia and thus appears to be related to arterial disease and not to be a nonspecific response to tissue injury. Fasting insulin levels and insulin responses t...
