Atherosclerosis (AS) is characterized by dyslipidemia and chronic inflammation. In the high-fat environment, the lipid metabolism of dendritic cells (DCs) is abnormal, which leads to abnorma...
Previous studies have used supplements to increase dietary nitrate intake in clinical populations. Little is known about whether effects can also be induced through vegetable consumption. Th...
Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) measured in B-mode ultrasound image is an important indicator of Atherosclerosis disease. Speckle noise inherently present in ultrasounds' thereby degrad...
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored transmembrane glycoprotein CD160 (cluster of differentiation 160) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Four isoforms, which differ by the ...
Recent developments of low-cost, compact acoustic sensors, advanced signal processing tools and powerful computational resources allow researchers design new scoring systems for acoustic det...
We assessed the utility of EndoPAT, a device that measures reactive hyperemia index (RHI) as a clinical screening tool for identifying low coronary flow reserve (CFR). Distinguishing normal ...
Extracellular vesicles (EV, exosomes and microvesicles -MV-) are 30-1000 nm particles surrounded by a phospholipid bilayer membrane that are released from almost all cell types through seve...
Atherosclerosis is the most prominent underlying cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is initiated by cholesterol deposition in the arterial intima, which causes macrophage recruitment ...
Rupture of an extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAA) is a very rare and life-threatening condition. In order to get a comprehensive view of past and current management of the ruptured ...
The atherosclerosis "iron hypothesis" generates a fair amount of debate since it has been proposed. Here, we revisited the "iron hypothesis" by examining whether dietary iron overload would ...
Herein we present a single institution 5-year experience with ascending aorta dissection biopsies depicting the clinicopathological features of 62 cases. To detect microscopic abnormalities ...
Although acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is the most commonly used antithrombotic agent for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular (CV) events, residual atherothrombotic risk has prompted gui...
This review aims at summarizing updated evidence on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk associated with consumption of specific food items to substantiate dietary strategies for atherosclerosi...
Lipoprotein(a) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and recurrent ischemic stroke. Lipoprotein(a) levels are known to be associated with carotid artery stenosis, but the ...
Residential greenness may be beneficial for cardiovascular health, but the evidence is still scarce, especially in developing countries. This study aimed to assess the associations between e...
mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL), one of the main downstream components of the necroptosis or programmed necrosis has recently been demonstrated in advanced atherosclerot...
Limited evidence is available addressing the potential role of sleep disorders on renal function. Here, we aimed to explore the associations of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sleep durati...
Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with endothelial dysfunction. This hypercoagulable state coming from the endothelial injury pones COVID-19 patients to a higher risk for throm...
Hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, overweight, obesity, and tobacco (smoking, chewing, and vaping), together with a pro-inflammatory and procoagulant state, are the main risk factors...
The etiology of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young people continues to attract much attention. This meta-analysis aimed to identify the most frequent causes of SCD in individuals aged ≤35...
