Current Concepts of Cerebrovascular Disease — Stroke Platelet and Antiplatelet Agents in Strokes
STROKES caused by thromboembolic occlusive events may involve the platelet in several ways: (1) production of platelet-fibrin thrombi, (2) containment of bleeding into the area of ischemia, and (3) participation in atheroma formation. One accepted pathogenesis for small recurrent strokes (transient ischemic attacks or TIAs) is recurrent embolization of platelet-fibrin thrombi or atheromatous ma...
متن کاملAccelerated atherosclerosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: a review of the causes and possible prevention.
Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disorder affecting multiple organ systems. Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus exhibit a bimodal pattern of mortality, with those who have had the disease for 5 to 10 years being at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly myocardial infarction. Elevated levels of conventional cardiovascular risk factors promote vascular damage ...
متن کاملVessel wall, not platelet, P2Y12 potentiates early atherogenesis.
AIMS Platelets have a fundamental role in atherothrombosis, but their role in early atherogenesis is unclear. The P2Y12 receptor is responsible for amplifying and sustaining platelet activation and P2Y12 inhibition is crucial in modulating the vessel wall response to injury. We therefore examined the role of platelet vs. vessel wall P2Y12 in early atherogenesis and considered the use of P2Y12 a...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase-mediated lipoprotein carbamylation as a mechanistic pathway for atherosclerotic vascular disease.
There is an emerging and significant body of research that suggests that MPO (myeloperoxidase) may be a critical mediator in dysfunctional lipoprotein formation and, hence, atherogenic initiation and progression. MPO is a haem peroxidase found in leucocytes and is abundant in macrophages surrounding atherosclerotic lesions. Several lines of evidence support the role of MPO-mediated carbamylatio...
