Epidemiological observations and metabolic investigations have consistently demonstrated that the accumulation of excess visceral fat is related to an increased risk of CVD as well as several metabolic and inflammatory perturbations. In the past decade, data from several studi...
متن کاملCarotid artery Intima-Media thickness and cardiovascular risk factors in chronic hemodialysis patients

In this investigation, we evaluated relationship between CCA-IMT with dependent and independent cardiovascular risk factors in chronic hemodialysis patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 51 chronic hemodialysis patients, (31 males and 20 fema...
متن کاملInflammation as a cardiovascular risk factor.
Inflammation occurs in the vasculature as a response to injury, lipid peroxidation, and perhaps infection. Various risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, and smoking, are amplified by the harmful effects of oxidized low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, initiating a chronic inflammatory reaction, the result of which is a vulnerable plaque, prone to rupture and thrombosis. Epidemiologica...
متن کاملGlycosylation Signatures of Inflammation Identify Cardiovascular Risk
Robust experimental and observational data implicate inflammation as a fundamental driver in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Chronic inflammatory diseases provide unique opportunities to gain insight into mechanisms of accelerated atherogenesis in broader populations. Patients with diseases such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis that are characterized by ch...
