The invention involves methods for characterizing an individual's risk profile of developing a future cardiovascular disorder by obtaining a level of the marker of systemic inflammation in the individual. The invention also involves methods for evaluating the likelihood that an individual will benefit ...
A number of studies using noninvasive means to detect atherosclerosis have shown that patients with rheu-matoid arthritis may be prone to atherosclerosis. This infor-mation should be important to physicians who provide care to patients with rheumatoid arthritis, given the difficulty of recognizing ...
Cardiovascular disease Trends Atherosclerosis Incidence Mortality Introduction Despite a sustained decline in cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality over the past four decades, CVD remains a leading cause of disease burden globally.1 Population growth and ageing means that ischemic heart disease...

英文: Conclusion: Carotid atherosclerotic plaques contain a variable degree of inflammation which can be assessed in vivo by means of FDG and PET. 中文: 结论∶颈动脉动脉粥样硬化患者动脉粥样斑包含不同程度炎症,可以在活体内用FDG和PET来评定。 更详细... 英文: Coronary heart disease (CHD), also...
The reliance on triglycerides or TGRLs as cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk biomarkers prompted investigations into therapies that lower plasma triglycerides as a means to reduce CVD events. Genetic studies identified TGRL components and pathways involved in their synthesis and metabolism. We advocate ...
