The clinical significance of cutaneous xanthomas.
DURING the past decade there have been significant new contributions to the field of lipid diseases. The combined utilization of serum lipid profiles and plasma lipoprotein patterns added new parameters for the identification and classification of this heterogeneous group of diseases. In view of these new developments it appears timely to review the clinical significance of cutaneous xanthomas ...
متن کاملPathophysiological background and clinical applications
Myocardial contrast echocardiography is a technique used in experimental and clinical settings in order to visualize the pattern of intramyocardial perfusion. In the acute phase of myocardial infarction, regional absence of flow during myocardial contrast echocardiography delineates the area at risk of necrosis, while the definitive non-perfused area expresses infarct size. Reopening the infarc...
متن کاملEruptive xanthomas
Xanthomas are localized lipid deposits in the skin, tendons and subcutaneous tissue associated with lipid abnormality. The hyperlipidemia responsible for this disorder can be caused by a primary genetic defect, a secondary disorder, or both. That kind of skin exanthema may be the first signal of cardiovascular risk. We present a 24-year-old woman with a skin eruption that had appeared a few mon...
متن کاملNovel Pathophysiological Insights and Current Clinical Applications
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a valuable adjunct to angiography, providing new insights in the diagnosis of and therapy for coronary disease. Angiography depicts only a 2D silhouette of the lumen, whereas IVUS allows tomographic assessment of lumen area, plaque size, distribution, and composition. The safety of IVUS is well documented, and the assessment of luminal dimensions represents an...
متن کاملHypertension in women--pathophysiological and clinical aspects.
Hypertension is the most important risk factor, responsible for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide, both in men and women. Cardiovascular disorders in women are still underestimated, due to lower absolute risk calculations and the underdetection of classical risk factors. In recent years the differences in pathophysiology and the clinical presentation and treatment of cardiac dise...
