Abstract:

Abstract The increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome and the consequent cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerotic diseases and type 2 diabetes, are a cause of public concern worldwide. This development has stimulated an active search for novel risk factors and new candidate genes. The hormones regulating energy balance and the polymorphisms associated with them are of special interest as potential risk factors for metabolic syndrome. Ghrelin is a novel peptide hormone from stomach with strong growth hormone releasing activity. It is also able to modify glucose and insulin metaboli

Abstract:

Abstract The risk factors for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD) are multiple and may interact with each other. Diet has a significant role among the main risk factors for atherosclerosis, as it regulates the levels of plasma lipids and lipoproteins, their oxidative modification or protection from oxidation, blood pressure, energy balance, and thrombogenesis. Nutrients can transfer their effects directly through plasma concentrations or modify the cell transduction or gene expression of important regulatory genes. The response to dietary modification varies between individuals. T

Abstract:

Abstract Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disease with numerous genes and environmental factors affecting its intiation and progression. During the past years many candidate genes for atherosclerosis have been suggested, and it has also become evident that the immune system plays a part in atherogenesis. Early atherosclerotic changes can be effectively detected by measuring carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT). In the present study the associations between IMT and polymorphisms of three candidate genes for atherosclerosis were studied: endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), apolip

Abstract:

Abstract The atherosclerotic plaques develop with the adhesion of inflammatory cells and lipids onto the innermost layer of the vessel. They may eventually occlude the vessel impairing blood flow. A severe complication is the rupture of a plaque resulting in the formation of a thrombus that can cause myocardial infarction or stroke. Though a large number of risk factors for atherosclerosis have been identified, the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is far from unravelled. The aim of the present work was to study both traditional as well as potential novel risk factors of atherosclerosis. The fir

Abstract:

Introduction Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of death in Europe and North America and early detection of atherosclerosis is a clinical priority. Diagnosis of CAD remains conventional angiography, although recent technology has introduced non-invasive imaging of coronary arteries using computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA), which enables the detection and quantification of coronary artery calcification (CAC). CAC forms within the arterial wall and is usually found in or adjacent to atherosclerotic plaques and is consequently known as sub-clinical atheroscleros

This research focuses on the development of a biomechanical strategy for risk assessment of atherosclerotic plaque rupture, which is a leading cause of acute cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke.

This study uncovered the biomechanical risk factors that are associated with high-risk atherosclerosis and provided a biomechanical tool for detecting high-risk plaques.

Macrophage-derived foam cells play a predominant role in the deposition of arterial plaques during the early stages of atherosclerosis. The deposition of arterial plaques is known to be effected by several factors, including a person’s dietary habits. The consumption of a high-fat (>60% of calories from fat) meal is known to elevate serum LDL and triglycerides, which have been previously implicated in the formation pf foam cells.

Abstract:

Cette thèse s’est intéressée à la question de l’athérosclérose coronaire prématurée, du profil clinique et biologique des individus qui en sont touchés, avec une approche physiopathologique permettant d’évaluer la contribution de l’inflammation et l’âge vasculaire. Les études 1 et 2 ont décrit le profil cardiovasculaire à très haut risque de ces patients et les facteurs d’évolution péjorative sur le long-terme. Ces études ont démontré que l’athérosclérose coronaire est une maladie évolutive avec une atteinte multi artérielle rapide, menant à un taux de mortalité de 20 % sur 10 ans. L’étude 3 a

Abstract:

A doença cardiovascular aterosclerótica é a principal causa de morte no hemisfério ocidental, portanto também no Brasil. A detecção não invasiva da aterosclerose é fundamental para prevenção. Objetivos: Correlacionar os fatores de risco (escore de Framingham), o perfil lipídico, a PCR-us, a espessura da íntima-média da carótida, a função endotelial, o índice tornozelo-braquial e o escore de cálcio pela tomografia computadorizada, com a extensão da doença coronariana determinada pelo índice de Friesinger, na cinecoronariografia. Casuística e métodos: Foram estudados 100 pacientes de ambos os se

Abstract:

Le vieillissement vasculaire est un phénomène inéluctable. Il s'accompagne de modifications structurelles et fonctionnelles du système cardio-vasculaire constituant la rigidité vasculaire. Ce processus dégénératif affecte essentiellement la matrice extra cellulaire des artères élastiques. La perte de l'élasticité du système vasculaire va impacter la fonction ventriculaire gauche et la perfusion cardiaque, rénale et cérébrale par des mécanismes différents. La rigidité vasculaire est un puissant marqueur de risque cardio-vasculaire. Cette notion est peu répandue dans le domaine de la cardiologie

Uma das causas mais comuns das DCV é a inflamação vascular que se associa à patogénese da aterosclerose. Como forma de auxiliar a deteção das DCV e acompanhar a sua evolução, são utilizados os biomarcadores inflamatórios, que constituem uma ferramenta valiosa na avaliação do prognóstico da patologia e na terapêutic

Abstract:

A hipercolesterolemia familiar (HF) é uma doença causada por um grupo de alterações genéticas que resultam em altas concentrações de colesterol no sangue e aumento na prevalência de aterosclerose subclínica e risco de eventos coronarianos precoces. Apesar da importância do colesterol como fator causal da aterosclerose na HF, o curso desta última é variável e influenciado por outros fatores de risco. A gordura pericárdica é um compartimento da gordura visceral e está associada à presença de aterosclerose coronária subclínica em populações sem HF. Este estudo avaliou a associação da gordura peri

Abstract:

Introdução: A psoríase é uma doença sistêmica crônica, inflamatória e imuno- mediada, que afeta a pele, vasos e sistema osteomuscular. A inflamação é um fator de risco importante para a aterosclerose, e a psoríase está associada com risco aumentado de dislipidemia, diabetes, hipertensão, obesidade e esteato-hepatite não alcoólica. No entanto, o impacto da inflamação crônica sistêmica sobre a saúde vascular e aterosclerose permanece mal compreendido. Objetivos: Analisar a associação entre psoríase e aterosclerose subclínica com uma medição não invasiva, avaliada no ramo das artérias carótidas,
