Association between the Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis and Diverticular Bleeding
Background and purpose: Diverticulosis is a major health problem in middle-aged and older adults. The cause of bleeding in the diverticulum is not clear, but arteriolar changes are considered as the main pathogenesis of diverticular bleeding. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between the risk factors for atherosclerosis and diverticular bleeding. Materials and methods: In this...

متن کاملCardiac imaging for risk stratification in diabetes.
World wide, 200 million individuals currently have diabetes, and projections by the World Health Organisation suggest that its prevalence will exceed 300 million by 2025 and 360 million by 2030. More than 90% of these individuals will have type 2 diabetes. Management guidelines in Europe and the USA consider type 2 diabetes to be a cardiovascular disease equivalent. These patients have a 2–4-fo...
متن کاملUltrasound Imaging for Risk Assessment in Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis and its consequences like acute myocardial infarction or stroke are highly prevalent in western countries, and the incidence of atherosclerosis is rapidly rising in developing countries. Atherosclerosis is a disease that progresses silently over several decades before it results in the aforementioned clinical consequences. Therefore, there is a clinical need for imaging methods ...
متن کاملCardiovascular risk stratification in overweight or obese patients in primary prevention. Implications for use of statins.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cardiovascular risk estimation in patients with overweight/obesity is not standardized. Our objectives were to stratify cardiovascular risk using different scores, to analyze use of statins, to report the prevalence of carotid atherosclerotic plaque (CAP), and to determine the optimal cut-off point (OCP) of scores that discriminate between subjects with or without CAP....
