Abstract Background Atherosclerosis is the underlying process causing coronary artery calcification. Pathophysiology of aortic and mitral valve calcification has several similarities with atherosclerosis, but their correlation not been clear, especially in patients atherosclerosis. Purpose This study aims to investigate between calcium score arteries, aortic, valves Methods was a cross-sectiona...

in patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg), usually at least one of the internal mammary arteries is used. this study evaluates the degree of atherosclerotic involvement of the internal mammary artery (ima) in patients undergoing cabg. during two months period, 79 patients (66 male and 13 female with a medium age of 58 years) undergoing myocardial revascularization had a biops...

the oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (ldl) may play an important role in atherogenesis. antioxidants that can prevent ldl oxidation may act as antiatherogens. our understanding of the mechanism of ldl oxidation and factors that determine its susceptibility to oxidation is still incomplete. copper is a candidate for oxidizing ldl in atherosclerotic lesions. the binding of copper...

conclusion our results indicate that dsct coronary angiography provides high diagnostic accuracy for the evaluation of cad patients during daily routine practice of a referral cardiovascular setting. background there are numerous studies that address the diagnostic value of dual-source computed tomography (dsct) as an alternative to conventional coronary angiography (cca). however, the benefit ...

one of the leading causes of death in the world are cardiovascular diseases, among which coronary artery disease (cad) is the most common one. it occurs as a result of narrowing of the arteries which supply blood to the heart due to a theroma plaque formation. this kind of heart disease can be considered as a multifactorial one as genetic and environmental factors are involved in its incidence....

Objective: Treponema denticola “T. denticola” is a pathogen associated with periodontal diseases that exhibits capacity for adherence, invasion, and colonization of host tissues, which allows alternating its location damage in different sites human body. This review aimed to discuss studies detected T. atherosclerotic plaques, demonstrating the importance disease on systemic health necessity ex...

background: an electrocardiogram (ecg) can provide information on subclinical myocardial damage. the presence, and more importantly, the quantity of coronary artery calcification (cac), relates well with the overall severity of the atherosclerotic process. a strong relation has been demonstrated between coronary calcium burden and the incidence of myocardial infarction, a relation independent o...

background: a great deal of evidence has indicated that oxidatively modified ldl plays a critical role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. antioxidants that can prevent ldl oxidation may act as antiatherogens. copper is a candidate for oxidizing ldl in atherosclerotic lesions. the binding of copper ions to ldl is usually thought to be a prerequisite for ldl oxidation by copper...

introduction this paper proposes the concept of autonomous drug-encapsulated nanoparticle (adenp) as a novel non-invasive approach to prevent atherosclerosis. adenp consists of three simple units of sensor, controller (computing), and actuator. the hardware complexity of adenp is much lower than most of the nanorobots, while the performance is maintained by the synergism in the swarm architectu...

oxidation of low density lipoprotein (ldl) particles plays a key role in the etiology of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (cad). oxidative stress enhances the likelihood of ldl oxidation and atherosclerotic plaque development. paraoxonase (poni) is an enzyme associated with hdl that metabolizes organophosphates and has antioxidant activity. in order to investigate the relationship be...
