Effective prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease (CVD), the commonest cause death in most countries, is still lacking. For many years we have studied cholesterol hypothesis found that there are contradictions to this hypothesis. instance, no trial has shown exposure response; lipid values not associated with degree atherosclerosis, people high LDL-C live just as long...

The diagnosis and management of patients with polymorbid cardiovascular pathology is a significant challenge. pathogenesis many diseases, such as arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, well diabetes mellitus, obesity dyslipidemia are associated systemic inflammation. inflammatory process, both at the local levels, can make contribution to progression atherosclerosis end...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Atherosclerosis is a progressive inflammatory disease and can develop in large arteries such as carotid and femoral arteries or medium-sized muscular arteries of the heart. Previous predominantly experimental studies suggested an important role of chemokines in the development of atherosclerosis. The main aim of this study was to examine potential effect of the CCR5-del32...

ABSTRACT          Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most important causes of mortality worldwide. Several risk factors have been proposed to be associated with CVD. The main risk factors include family history, smoking, hypertension, history of diabetes, hyperlipidemia and obesity. However, new factors have been recently proposed to be assoc...

background: saffron (crocus satious l.) provides a variety of promising preventive and therapeutic effects with non-considerable side effects. objective: based on our knowledge, this is the first study that simultaneously has reviewed the effect of saffron extract and its constituents on the factors associated with neuropsychological, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal tract diseases. methods...

background: recent researches have known long term infections such as periodontal disease to be related with the process of atherosclerosis. periodontitis causes peripheral inflammation and immune cell stimulation which leads to an increase in c - reactive protein (crp) and iga ab and there is a definite relation between cardiovascular disease, crp increase and periodontitis. the aim of this st...

an association between chlamydia pneumoniae (c. pneumoniae) and cardiovascular disease has been demonstrated. in this study, we aimed to study this potential relationship in 105 iranian patients. coronary artery specimens from 105 iranian patients undergoing cabg were analyzed by pcr method for c. pneumoniae. serological evaluation for c. pneumoniae igg and igm was performed using elisa. 53 spe...

severe coronary artery disease often coexists with peripheral vascular atherosclerosis. the assessment of the supra-aortic circulation is, therefore, of clinical relevance. we herein describe a case of coronary artery disease treated with surgical revascularization using the internal mammary artery and thereafter the progressive atherosclerotic disease of the native coronary arteries as well as...

background: concerns have been raised about the possibility of a predisposition of kawasaki disease (kd) to abnormal lipid profile after an acute phase of disease, which can predispose them to premature atherosclerosis later in life. we determined the lipid profile of children late after kd, and compared it with controls. methods: this historical cohort was conducted on 32 subjects: 16 children...

Cardiovascular disease related to atherosclerosis represents nowadays the largest cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Due to inflammatory nature of atherosclerosis, several studies had been conducted in order to search for substances with anti-inflammatory activity on arterial walls, able to exert beneficial roles on health. Researches investigated the role of dietary carot...
