The medial layer of the aorta can also be subject to abnormalities (such as Marfan syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve, inflammatory vasculitis, atherosclerosis and infections). Despite important advances in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, data derived from registries and population-based studies ...

Hypercholesterolemia is one of the most important risk factors for atherosclerosis in adults and elevated cholesterol in children is associated with sub-clinical deposition of lipids in the aorta and coronary arteries. This report summarizes an approach to the diagnosis and treatment of hyperlipidemia in...
Osteopontin (OPN) is a phosphorylated acidic glycoprotein that is implicated in many processes integral to AAA development including inflammation, proteolysis and atherosclerosis [21–26]. OPN deficiency has been shown to protect against AAA formation in angiotensin-II-infused apolipoprotein-e-deficient ...
Carotid atherosclerosis is not substantially more prevalent in AF patients with stroke than in patients without AF, however, and is probably a relatively minor contributing epidemiological factor (74). 1. Pathophysiology of Thrombus Formation Thrombus formation as a result of stasis in the LAA is ...
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) represent a degenerative process of the abdominal aorta that is often attributed to atherosclerosis; however, the exact cause is not known. In American autopsy studies, the frequency rate of AAA ranges from 0.5‐3.2%. The frequency of rupture is 6.9 cases per ...
