Atherosclerosis can be defined as a disease process that occurs when the influx and deposition of cholesterol into the arterial wall exceed the egress of cholesterol from the arterial wall. This process is characterized by early deposition of cholesterol in and around arterial wall cells. The cholest...

Angiogenesis is defined as the formation of new blood vessels sprouting from pre-existing vessels. It plays an important role not only in physiological situations such as embryonic vascular development and wound healing, but also in pathological conditions including atherogenesis and evolution and spread...
Classically, PAD is expressed as two forms: atherosclerosis, defined as an atheromatous inflammatory disease, and vasculitic syndromes, known as non-atheromatous inflammatory diseases. The prevalence and severity of peripheral arterial atherosclerosis in HIV-infected patients remain, at the moment, poorly ...
The global population of older individuals is growing, and ageing is a key risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Abnormal accumulation of senescent cells can cause potentially deleterious effects on the organism with age. As a vital marker of cellular senescence, the senescence-associa...
AS and VC are closely related to decreased vascular compliance, which can cause plaque rupture and thrombosis. VC is defined as abnormal deposits of mineral matrix in the vessel wall [1, 2]. It is a common pathological feature of vascular injury such as AS, diabetes, and chronic kidney dise...
\(p\) is thermodynamic pressure, \(F\) is the volumetric force exerted on the fluid, and \(\tau \) is the shear tensor dependent on the fluid movement.\({S}_{ij}\) is a function of the strain rate, and the Kronecker delta \({\delta }_{ij}\) is defined as follows26. $${...
Atherosclerotic heart disease(ASHD) is present in differing degrees in all patients older than 65 years. Heart disease is the number-one cause of death in the elderly population. Possiblesigns and symptomsof ASHD includeelevated blood pressure, irregularities in cardiac rhythm, undue fatigue, and ...
Objective Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is widely used as a simple noninvasive measure of arterial stiffness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of baPWV as a predictor of the carotid artery atherosclerosis in the elderly. Methods A total of 721 elderly participant...
