Concept of Atherosclerosis Velocity: Is It a Better Measure of Cardiovascular Risk?
Authors
Abstract:
In most cases atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of vascular diseases, including heart disease and stroke. It is believed that endothelial injury is the earliest change in the artery wall and that this precedes the formation of lesions of atherosclerosis. Recent developments in the field of atherosclerosis have led to a renewed interest in the recognition of the parameter of time in the atherosclerosis process. We believe that the factors determining the time-dependent rate of atherosclerosis progression are important, and it is in this context that we wish to propose for the first time the term “atherosclerosis velocity”. In this review article, we summarize the existing evidence regarding atherosclerosis velocity and discuss the importance of this issue.

15 صفحه اولWhat Is Concept Drift and How to Measure It?
This paper studies concept drift over time. We first define the meaning of a concept in terms of intension, extension and label. We then introduce concept drift over time and two derived notions: (in)stability over a time period and concept shift between two time points. We apply our framework in three case-studies, one from communication science, on DBPedia, and one in the legal domain. We des...
full text– Atherosclerosis – Cardiovascular risk –
Background: Both postprandial hyperglycaemia and hypertriglyceridaemia have been identified as risk markers for cardiovascular disease. However, the determinants of the magnitude of postprandial triglyceride and glucose responses are largely unknown. The objective was to assess potential determinants of postprandial glucose and triglyceride responses following two consecutive meals in women wit...
full textIs it possible to measure the risk of heart attack?
PNS activity can be measured. The method used is called: “Heart Frequency Variability” (“HRV”). An instrument with specialized software can be used to make a 2-5 minute recording of your heart beat or pulse to determine the level of your PNS activity. For comparison, it is best if such examinations are carried out under near to similar conditions, when the patient is lying down and breathing ca...
