Sudden cardiac death (SCD) related to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (ACAD) resulting in myocardial infarction is the most prevalent cause of death in western countries. In clinical practice, coronary artery calcium...
Excess epicardial fat volume (EFV) has been recently implicated in cardiovascular structural and functional abnormalities. It has been associated with abnormal microvascular stiffness (as reflected by radial artery waveform;...
Endothelial dysfunction is a predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and plays an important role in vasospastic angina (VA).This study evaluated whether flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is also a good marker of...
Atherosclerosis, a chronic multifactorial disease, is closely related to the development of cardiovascular diseases and is one of the predominant causes of death worldwide. Normal vascular endothelial cells play an important...
Dietary total antioxidant capacity (dTAC) has been introduced as a useful tool to quantify the antioxidant content of a diet. However, few studies have evaluated the association of dTAC with cardiovascular disease (CVD)...
In the setting of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), pedal arch interrogation by ultrasound has not been well described. Patients with non-compressible vessels and/or open wounds of the foot may preclude the use of...
Previous community-based studies have demonstrated sex and race-based disparities in the risk of cardiovascular disease. We sought to examine the association of sex and race with incident peripheral artery disease (PAD-) and...
Ticagrelor may be superior to aspirin after minor ischemic stroke or TIA, particularly in patients with symptomatic atherosclerotic disease. However, there may be an increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with...
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of intravenous infusion of tirofiban after emergent angioplasty with or without stenting in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis-related large-vessel...
This study aimed to investigate the association between carotid intima-media changes that play a part in the atherosclerotic process in childhood obesity and fibrin monomers as an important indicator of fibrin plaque.This is a...
Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in developed countries. The pathogenetic mechanism relies on a macrophage-based immune reaction to low density lipoprotein (LDL) deposition in blood vessels with dysfunctional...
Astaxanthin is known as a “marine carotenoid” and occurs in a wide variety of living organisms such as salmon, shrimp, crab, and red snapper. Astaxanthin antioxidant activity has been reported to be more than...
