Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. Various risk factors have been identified for atherosclerosis. Recently, bacterial and viral organisms, which are involved in chronic inflammatory processes, have been also implicated in atherosclerosis development. Individuals with a prior history of periodontal diseases and/or tooth loss are considered to be...

Introduction: Galectin-3 is known as a biomarker in patients with heart failure. This protein participates in different mechanisms involved in atherosclerosis including inflammation and plaque formation. This study was conducted to investigate whether this factor could be a predictive biomarker for the severity of atherosclerosis. Materials and Methods: The study group consisted of 80 patients ...

Atherosclerosis is a complex disease whose pathogenesis includes endothelial activation, accumulation of lipids in the subendothelium, formation foam cells, fat bands and atherosclerotic plaque. These mechanisms involve different cell populations intimate sub-endothelium, S-100 protein family plays role number extracellular intracellular processes during development lesions. The aim this study ...

Atherosclerosis has been defined as an inflammatory disease. Three decades of research have pointed to a pivotal role interleukin 6 for many aspects cardiovascular disease, not the least which is atherosclerosis. In this review, experimental and clinical studies are reported on timeline, exploring mechanisms possible explanations that form basis current knowledge. Some successful trials were pr...

results the prevalence’s of aa, ac and cc genotypes were 55.2%, 24.1% and 20.7% in cad patients and 51.6%, 40.9% and 7.5% in the control subjects, respectively. the frequencies of the c allele were significantly higher in cad patients compared with control groups (p < 0.05). logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between the c allele and the risk of cad (or = 1.61, 95%c...

background: vascular calcification is an important stage in atherosclerosis. during this stage, vascular smooth muscle cells (vsmc) synthesize many osteogenic factors such as osteonectin (encoded by sparc). oxidative stress plays a critical role in atherosclerosis progression, and its accumulation in the vascular wall stimulates the development of atherosclerosis and vascular calcification. the...

Objectives Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by lipid accumulation and local inflammation, which are regulated the immune system. The immunological aspects of this unclear. Immunoglobulin A regulates many cell responses through interactions with Fcα receptor type I (FcαRI). Anti-FcαRI antibody inhibits activating receptors inducing an inhibitory immunoreceptor tyro...

objective: duplex ultrasonography is a non-invasive, non-expensive screening test for carotid disease. intima media thickness (imt) is appropriate for atherosclerosis process diagnosis. leukoaraisis (la) increase the risk of cerebrovascular accident (cva). la patients need preventive medication for cva. imt is a non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic test in la. the aim of this study was evalua...
