Coronary artery remodelling in atherosclerosis: unfortunately unpredictable.
Coronary heart disease is the main cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and occurs because of the growth and complications of coronary atherosclerosis. Therefore, efforts in the understanding of how atherosclerotic plaques grow and undergo complications, and in identifying predictors of such dramatic events are welcome and worthwhile. Atherosclerosis has long been considered a relentless...
متن کاملApolipoprotein E Gene Polymorphism in Iranian Coronary Atherosclerosis Patients Candidate for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
Objective(s): Apolipoprotein E genotype (APOE) polymorphism affects lipid levels and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. The aim of this study was to study the association of the Apolipoprotein E genotypes with coronary artery disease in the Iranian population. Materials and Methods: The Apolipoprotein E genotype in DNA samples extracted from 66 CAD+ patients and 61 control s...
متن کاملCoronary artery compliance and adaptive vessel remodelling in patients with stable and unstable coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that patients with unstable coronary syndromes show accentuated compensatory vessel enlargement compared with patients with stable angina, and that this may in part be related to increased coronary artery distensibility. DESIGN AND PATIENTS In 23 patients with unstable coronary syndromes (10 with non-Q wave myocardial infarction and 13 with unstable angina), t...
متن کاملAssociation between rs2228014 Polymorphism of CXCR4 and Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis: A Case-Control Study
Introduction: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease and is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease. Vascular plaques are formed on the inner surface of hardened arteries and gradually develop, reducing the diameter of the arteries. CXCR4 is one of the most important chemokine receptors, whose presence has been confirmed in cardiac plaques. Our aim was to determine the relations...
متن کاملThe effect of turbulence model on predicting the development and progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis
A severe case of stenosis in coronary arteries results in turbulence in the blood flow which may lead to the formation or progression of atherosclerosis. This study investigated the turbulent blood flow in a coronary artery with rigid walls, as well as 80% single and double stenoses on blood flow. A finite element-based software package, ADINA 8.8, was employed to model the blood flow. The hemo...
