We hypothesize that in the chronically ischemic limb changes occur in uninjured skin, secondary to hypoxia which predispose to dermal breakdown. Methods: Full thickness, paired biopsies of uninjured skin were harvested at below knee amputation from fourteen patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD...
Cardiovascular illness is an important contributor to the morbidity of kidney disease. The spectrum of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) includes left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and dilatation, ischemic heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease. Both ...
The indications for coronary artery bypass graft surgery or percutaneous vascular stenting for atherosclerotic stenotic disease are the same regardless of renal function, but the outcomes are worse in CKD than in non-CKD patients. 展开 关键词: Chronic kidney disease Cardiovascular disease Atherosclerosis...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main complications of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the most common cause of death, especially in patients with ESRD 3、Cardiovascular abnormalities Ischemic Vascular Disease occlusive coronary heart ...
In patients with chronic liver disease, the peripheral vasculature, the mesenteric vascular bed, and the intrahepatic microcirculatory unit have received attention (Fig. 1). A recurrent theme is that while the cells and molecules in each vascular structure exhibit many similarities, variability in ...
It is in general difficult to predict which patient with stable ischemic heart disease will receive interventional or surgical revascularization in the long term, after initially being treated with optimal medical therapy (OMT). In the occluded artery trial (OAT), late opening of infarct-related art...
Chronic hypoxic hypoperfusion opens the BBB, which contributes to the cognitive changes seen with lacunar strokes and white matter injury in subcortical ischemic vascular disease. This review will describe the molecular and cellular events associated with BBB disruption and potential therapies directed ...
Mesenteric phlebosclerosis: a new disease entity causing ischemic colitis PURPOSE: Nonthrombotic stenosis or occlusion of the mesenteric veins is a rare cause of intestinal ischemia. The aim of this study was to describe a new di... A Iwashita,T Yao,RJ Schlemper,... - 《Diseases of the ...
Our study also indicated that factors such as advancing age, a prior diagnosis of hypertension, and the presence of ischemic heart disease were independent risk factors for the development of stage 3–5 CKD. In a similar vein, various studies have identified age, smoking, obesity, dyslipidemia,...
Chronic inflammation is a component of many disease conditions that affect a large group of individuals worldwide. Chronic inflammation is characterized by persistent, low-grade inflammation and is increased in the aging population. Neutrophils are norma
