Despite the same electrophysiological abnormality, the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in atrial fibrillation (AF) ranges from <1%/year to >20%/year and can be assessed by simple clinical risk factors.1 This has led to the gradual a... Camm,A.,John,... - 《European Heart Journal ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: While the clinical significance of descending thoracic aorta intima-media thickness (DTA-IMT) remains unclear, common carotid IMT (CIMT) is known to be associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with atherosclerotic disease. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: ...
They focused on coronary (n = 8), carotid (n = 7), and femoral arteries (n = 1), thoracic aorta (n = 1), and infrarenal aorta (n = 1). The remaining 15 studies examined more than one arterial segment. The literature was heterogeneous: few studies were designed to investigate athe...
Atherosclerosis plaque regression on the thoracic aorta assessed by transesophageal echocardiography in patients with dysplipidemia and coronary artery diseasedoi:10.1016/s0735-1097(96)80888-6
Pathological analysis demonstrated that large amounts of inflammatory cells were accumulated on the surface of endothelium and lipids were largely deposited in the aortic arch and thoracic aorta with smooth muscle cell infiltration in the intima as early as 4 weeks after diet intervention, which is ...
Endothelial function is assessed in excised rings of the thoracic aorta as described previously (W. Linz et al., JRAAS (Journal of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system) 7 (2006), 155-161). As a measure of myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis, heart weight, left ventricular weight and the...
investigated the association of insulin resistance with the preva- lence and extent of calcified atherosclerosis in the coronary ar- teries, and thoracic and abdominal aorta as well as their combination, and whether this association was independent of ...
Our aim was to confirm the poor prognosis related to thoracic aortic plaques, in particular aortic debris, diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and to evaluate patients' prognosis as a function of the antithrombotic treatment.#Aortic atheroma (AA) has been widely studied. However, it...
