متن کاملArterial Stiffness and its Correlation with the Extent of Coronary Artery Disease
Introduction: Coronary artery disease secondary to atherosclerosis is the most common cause of mortality. Coronary angiography is the most precise method for determining the extent of disease in the coronary vascular bed. Arterial stiffness has been proposed as a marker of atherosclerosis in some studies. One of the noninvasive methods for the determination of arterial stiffness is Doppler echo...
متن کاملPeripheral Eosinophilia and History of Allergy in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease

A number of studies have shown that total leukocyte count is a risk factor for CAD but there is little information on the role of eosinophilia and allergy.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) refers to disease affecting noncoronary arteries, but is most often used to describe disease of the arteries supplying the limbs. Peripheral arterial disease is most commonly due to atherosclerosis, but may...
