Arterial calcifications
Arterial calcifications as found with various imaging techniques, like plain X-ray, computed tomography or ultrasound are associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The prevalence of arterial calcification increases with age and is stimulated by several common cardiovascular risk factors. In this review, the clinical importance of arterial calcification and the currently known proteins invo...
متن کاملNT5E mutations and arterial calcifications.
BACKGROUND Arterial calcifications are associated with increased cardiovascular risk, but the genetic basis of this association is unclear. METHODS We performed clinical, radiographic, and genetic studies in three families with symptomatic arterial calcifications. Single-nucleotide-polymorphism analysis, targeted gene sequencing, quantitative polymerase-chain-reaction assays, Western blotting...
متن کاملVascular calcifications, arterial aging and arterial remodeling in ESRD.
BACKGROUND Accelerated arterial aging and inadequate outward arterial remodeling are observed in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Whether these changes could be closely associated with arterial calcifications has never been investigated. METHODS 155 ESRD patients and 105 age-, sex-, and blood pressure-matched control subjects were included. Common carotid artery (CCA) pressure, diamet...
متن کاملAssociation between arterial calcifications and nonlacunar and lacunar ischemic strokes.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Nonlacunar cerebral infarcts are presumed to be caused by thromboembolism from the heart or extracranial arteries, whereas lacunar infarcts are thought to be caused by small vessel disease. We investigated to what extent arterial calcifications differ between nonlacunar and lacunar ischemic strokes. METHODS We studied 820 consecutive patients with transient ischemic att...
متن کاملArterial calcifications and bone histomorphometry in end-stage renal disease.
Arterial calcification (AC) is a common complication of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The mechanisms responsible are complex, including disturbances of mineral metabolism and active expression of various mineral-regulating proteins. An inverse relationship between AC and bone density has been documented in uremic patients. In the study presented here, which included 58 patients with ESRD on h...
