Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide. rate is steadily increasing despite large-scale preventive measures. Familial hypercholesterolemia most common genetically determined disorder lipid metabolism as major blood circulatory system development progression. Worldwide, there 6.8–8.5 million children with this primary dyslipidemia. Early (in childhood...

The estimation of risk for atherosclerotic and cardiovascular events based only on the presence of classical risk factors is often insufficient. Therefore, efforts have been made to find markers that indicate the presence of preclinical disease in individual subjects: blood markers of atherosclerosis and preclinical deterioration of the arterial wall. Elevated levels of several inflammatory med...

Objective: To investigate the correlation between fundus atherosclerosis and carotid arterial atherosclerosis. Methods: A total of 516 people undergoing physical examination in Deyang People’s Hospital June 2020 December 2022 were randomly selected. Fundus evaluated by photography artery ultrasonography, respectively. Results: Among patients, 198 (38.4%) had normal examination, 318 (61.6%) arte...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses several diseases: atherosclerotic CVD (including coronary heart disease [CHD], peripheral arterial disease [PAD], and ischemic stroke), hemorrhagic stroke, congestive heart failure, hypertension, rheumatic heart disease, and congenital heart defects. This article will focus on reviewing the evidence relating periodontal disease and CVD arising from ather...

OBJECTIVES Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with premature atherosclerosis and increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease. The objective of this review is to summarize current and emerging imaging modalities for the evaluation of subclinical atherosclerosis in RA, with an emphasis on potential application of novel modalities, high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging and positron em...

Cardiovascular disease determines prognosis in patients with Type 2 diabetes Atherosclerosis determines the prognosis of patients with diabetes. Cardiovascular risk in Type 2 diabetic patients is increased by a factor of two to three, and diabetes approximately doubles the risk of death after cardiovascular events. Mainly owing to their increased cardiovascular risk, the life expectancy of pati...

BACKGROUND Although systemic lupus erythematosus is associated with premature myocardial infarction, the prevalence of underlying atherosclerosis and its relation to traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease and lupus-related factors have not been examined in a case-control study. METHODS In 197 patients with lupus and 197 matched controls, we performed carotid ultrasonography, echo...

Background and Objectives: Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in developed countries. In addition to traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, nowadays, accumulating evidence indicates that a variety of infections contribute to pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, (We investigated whether Helicobacter pylori infection is related to Prpevalence of coronary heart dise...
