results no correlation between as and history of rt, rt-to-follow-up time interval, laterality of bc, framingham’s 10-year risk score or traditional cad risk factors were detected. increase in cacs related to the senile atherosclerotic process was shown (p < 0.001). conclusions no difference between cacs was noted between bc patients with a history of 3d-crt and the non-bc women without a histo...

Vascular pathological changes exhibit variable features as a result of the functional and morphological differences between blood vessel types . Endothelial dysfunction induces vascular changes associated with an imbalance between vasoactive substances and vessel structure. Various pathological and physiological conditions induce disturbances in the contractility and permeability associated wit...

OBJECTIVE To determine factors associated with increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease in a high-risk patient population. DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis of a retrospective cohort study. METHODS One-hundred patients at an inner city HIV clinic in 2008 were reviewed. The atherosclerotic vascular disease risk score was calculated using the Pooled Cohort Equation. Chi-square test w...

INTRODUCTION Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a global health burden. However, there are heterogeneities among countries or regions in the risk factors and clinical manifestations of atherosclerotic diseases as well as management patterns. METHODS We collected data from 25 centres in Thailand. Patients with documented coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease or peripheral art...

Objectives: To clarify the involvement of obesity, atherosclerotic risk factors, and metabolic syndrome in vascular aging elderly population examine significance factor treatment.

• Atherosclerotic renovascular stenosis is a potentially progressive disease. • Risk factors for progressive stenosis and renal artery occlusion include: – uncontrolled systolic hypertension (>160 mmHg) – diabetes mellitus – high grade (>70%) ipsilateral and contralateral atherosclerotic renal vascular disease (ARVD), and – significant baseline proteinuria. • Risk factors for atrophy include: –...
