Noninvasive Assessment of Preclinical Atherosclerosis
Initially considered as a semipermeable barrier separating lumen from vessel wall, the endothelium is now recognised as a complex endocrine organ responsible for a variety of physiological processes vital for vascular homeostasis. These include the regulation of vascular tone, luminal diameter, and blood flow; hemostasis and thrombolysis; platelet and leucocyte vessel-wall interactions; the reg...
متن کاملAssessment of Glucocorticoids ‒ Induced Preclinical Atherosclerosis
In 1948, the US rheumatologist Philip Hench and his associates at the Mayo Clinic first administered hydrocortisone to a patient with rheumatoid arthritis and discovered its clinical benefits [1]. Two years later, Hench, together with biochemists Edward Kendall and Tadeus Reichstein, shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Today, glucocorticoids are among the most frequently prescribed class of ant...
متن کاملNoninvasive Assessment of Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Children and Adolescents
Deterioration in endothelial function and arterial stiffness are early events in the development of cardiovascular diseases. In adults, noninvasive measures of atherosclerosis have become established as valid and reliable tools for refining cardiovascular risk to target individuals who need early intervention. With limited pediatric data, the use of these techniques in children and adolescents ...
متن کاملMeeting Summary Noninvasive Techniques for Assessment of Atherosclerosis
A of the arteries in the human is a pathological process with serious consequences. It results in loss of elasticity of vessel walls, in focal development of plaques, and in irregular narrowing of the arterial lumen. The resultant impairment of blood flow may lead to heart attack, stroke, or gangrene of the limbs. The currently acceptable clinical method for providing the best quantitative meas...

Noninvasive Assessment of Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Children and Adolescents To the Editor: Standards relating to the assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis in children are important, especially given the large variation that exists in the “normative” data being published. This variability can, at least in part, be ascribed to variability and inconsistency in the application of the tech...
