BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The recent increase in clinical cardiovascular disease in Alaska Eskimos suggests that changes in traditional lifestyle may have adverse public health consequences. This study examines the prevalence of subclinical vascular disease and its relation to risk factors in Alaska Eskimos. METHODS Participants in the population-based Genetics of Coronary Artery Disease in Alas...

Metabolic syndrome is clusters of dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Its prevalence increases in autoimmune diseases as RA. risk for cardiovascular ischemic heart disease, subclinical atherosclerosis, it preferred to detect metabolic factors RA patients, decreases better controlling activity.

Atherosclerosis, the major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), is a chronic inflammatory condition with immune competent cells in lesions producing mainly pro-inflammatory cytokines. Dead cells and oxidized forms of low density lipoproteins (oxLDL) are abundant. The major direct cause of CVD appears to be rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. oxLDL has proinflammatory and immune-stimulatory pr...

Background: Hemodialysis patients are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease. Higher than expected cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in this population has been attributed to dislipidemia as well as inflammation. The causes of inflammation in hemodialysis patients are multifactorial. Several markers were used for the detection of inflammatory reaction in patients with chronic renal dise...

Disorders likely ‘inflammatory’ in nature are known to be linked accelerated atherosclerotic processes that increase the chances of cardiovascular disease. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a well-known autoimmune disease for its ability affect any organ and cause morbidity. One such major morbidity mortality SLE premature coronary heart Inflammation considered main pathogenesis atheroscler...

  Background and Objective: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) following atherosclerosis is the most common cause of cardiac deaths world wide. We aimed to investigate the pathologic features of atherosclerosis in non cardiac death cases to have an estimate of atherosclerosis prevalence in Mashad (North east of Iran). Patients and Methods : This descriptive (cross sectional) study was done, during ...

the worldwide prevalence of insulin resistant states such as the metabolic syndrome has grown rapidly over the past few decades. the metabolic syndrome is a constellation of common metabolic disorders that promote the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. studies in both human and animal models suggest that hepatic inflammation and insulin resistance are key initiating fact...
