Association between MTHFR C677T polymorphism and abdominal aortic aneurysm risk
BACKGROUND Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition. A number of studies reported the association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and AAA risk, but substantial controversial findings were observed and the strength of the association remains unclear. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the aforementioned association i...
متن کاملAssociation between carotid artery and abdominal aortic aneurysm plaque
Background: The correlation between AAA and carotid artery plaque is unknown and a common etiology and pathophysiology is suspected by some authors. The purpose of this work was to explore the association between the features of a) carotid artery plaque and b) abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) plaques using multi-detector-CT Angiography (MDCTA). Methods: Forty-eight (32 males; median age 72 years...
متن کاملAssociation between osteopontin and human abdominal aortic aneurysm.
OBJECTIVES In vitro and animal studies have implicated osteopontin (OPN) in the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysm. The relationship between serum concentration of OPN and variants of the OPN gene with human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) was investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS OPN genotypes were examined in 4227 subjects in which aortic diameter and clinical risk factors were measured. Serum OPN...
متن کاملDrug Therapy for Small Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Dear Editor,Abdominal aortic aneurysm is often asymptomatic, less recognized, and causes considerable mortality and morbidity, if missed. The incidence varies from country to country and the occurrence is influenced by modifiable (smoking, coronary heart disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and prolonged steroid therapy) and non-modifiable risk factors (increasing age, male gender, and positive...
متن کاملImaging Association Between Aneurysm Shoulder Stress and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Expansion A Longitudinal Follow-Up Study
Background—Aneurysm expansion rate is an important indicator of the potential risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture. Stress within the AAA wall is also thought to be a trigger for its rupture. However, the association between aneurysm wall stresses and expansion of AAA is unclear. Methods and Results—Forty-four patients with AAAs were included in this longitudinal follow-up study. The...
