Prognostic significance of progression of coronary atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Angiographic progression of coronary atherosclerosis is frequently observed in clinical practice and is used as an end point in clinical trials; however, its prognostic significance is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS Progression defined as an increase in diameter stenosis by > or = 15% of at least one coronary lesion was seen in 141 (42%) of 335 patients who underwent repeat coronary ...
متن کاملThe significance of adventitial infiltrations in coronary atherosclerosis.
There are a large number of deaths from coronary disease in which a necropsy examination generally gives less evidence of the exact cause of death than the clinical findings. In the absence of fatal structural lesions, acute coronary deaths have been attributed to disturbances of function such as inhibition, arrhythmias, and coronary spasm; but the problem has been one ofdebate rather than obse...
متن کاملClinical significance of lipoprotein size and risk for coronary atherosclerosis.
Correlation between coronary heart disease and lipoprotein size and composition is well documented. Within the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) family the small LDL particles are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease. These particles also have increased apolipoprotein (apo) B content. The appearance of these small LDL particles is the manifestation of complex alteration of plasm...
متن کاملA study of iron status in patients with coronary atherosclerosis
Background: It has been demonstrated that free oxygen radicals have a close interaction with lipid peroxidation, causing a modification of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and facilitating LDL deposition, with the consequent formation of atherosclerosis plaques. Free radical production is catalyzed and accelerated in the presence of iron. This study was conducted to evaluate the possible associ...
متن کاملCoronary Atherosclerosis
Serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] was determined in 85 healthy controls (control group), in 49 patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD group), and in 87 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI group). Lp(a) concentration was measured using a single radial immunodiffusion method. Because Lp(a) showed a skewed distribution, Lp(a) was plotted in each group on a box plot and analyzed using non...
