Family 7 had a CT angiography of the brain at the age 27 years old, which showed multifocal narrowing of the distal intracranial arteries with likely secondary intravascular calcium deposition in the absence of cardiovascular risk factors (Fig.1b(VIIb)). No conclusive brain calcification imaging wa...
High shear stress induces morphological changes in ECs, as they align in the direction of the flow. Additionally, arterial outward remodeling occurs, leading to increased NO synthesis [119,120]. In hypertension, the amplitude and rate of elastic distension of arteries are increased, causing fatigue...
One likely reason for the greater effectiveness of MK-7 is that its rate of clearance from the human circulatory system is much longer than that for phylloquinone and enhances the degree of gamma-carboxylation of Gla proteins in extrahepatic tissues such as bone and arteries [12]. Finally we ...
In short, CaScore (syngo.CT CaScoring software, Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) was quantified for the abdominal aorta below the origin of the renal arteries, the common iliac artery, and the external iliac artery for the side of the J. Clin. Med. 2021, 10, 325 3 of 14 ...
