Isolated MCA Disease in Patients Without Significant Atherosclerotic Risk Factors

Isolated MCA disease in patients without significant atherosclerotic risk factors: a high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging study.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diagnosis of intracranial artery atherosclerosis remains often uncertain. The high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) enables vessel wall assessment for more precise diagnoses. The aim of the present study was to investigate the etiologies of middle cerebral artery steno-occlusive disease in young adult patients with few atherosclerotic risk factors using HR-M...

Iron levels in coronary heart disease patients without known risk factors

Background: Coronary heart disease is a common disease after adolescence. Strong epidemiological evidence is available that iron is an important factor in coronary artery disease. Therefore this study was done to assess the relationship between iron stores and coronary artery disease. Materials and methods: 208 subjects with cardiovascular disease were included in the study. Personal informati...

Determinants of Cardiovascular Risk in Hemodialysis Patients Without Significant Comorbidities

Certain genetic risk factors of restenosis in peripheral atherosclerotic disease

[Atherosclerotic risk factors in adolescence]

OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of atherosclerotic risk factors on adolescence. METHODS: Nonsystematic literature review. RESULTS: The progression and severity of atherosclerosis are related to the presence (number), magnitude and duration of some risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: Preventive health measures should be early implemented in order to ensure a healthy childhood and adolescence, and avoid f...
