Moderate homocysteinemia--a possible risk factor for arteriosclerotic cerebrovascular disease.
Highly elevated concentrations of homocysteine measured as homocysteine or cysteine-homocysteine mixed disulfide (MDS) are found in plasma and urine in subjects with inherited abnormalities of the methionine metabolism. These subjects have a high incidence of arteriosclerotic vascular complications during childhood. Homocysteine causes endothelial cell injury and cell detachment that initiates ...

Carotid stiffening is considered an important element in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular diseases. These include stroke as well as vascular dementia and depression. However, results of individual studies evaluating the association between carotid stiffening and incident stroke have been inconsistent.

متن کاملRisk of Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease in
To the Editor: The study by Dahl et al1 raises important issues with regard to the potential relationship between 1-antitrypsin deficiency and vascular disease, particularly ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD). We wish to comment on this point. Given that 50% of all cerebral ischemic events are the thromboembolic complications of an atheroma and that such a mechanism is highly probable when...
متن کاملCerebral angiographic risk in mild cerebrovascular disease.
We review the eight prospective and seven retrospective studies from which it is possible to derive the complication rate of conventional cerebral angiography for patients with mild ischemic cerebrovascular disease who are potential candidates for carotid endarterectomy. Three studies of intravenous and one of intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography are also examined. An overview of the ...
