It also can perform hemodynamic analysis of blood flow within the vessels. Thus, this method is an important way to assess carotid arteries and veins, and also helps in identifying the atherosclerosis in the whole body. Early diagnosis and early prevention of carotid plaque presence are of great...
Why is there an increase in arterial blood pressure during exercise? Why does age have an effect on max heart rate? a. As the heart ages, it becomes larger and more efficient and does not have to work as hard. b. As the heart ages, it does not function as well due to loss of el...
SMYA consists of four traditional Chinese herbs, the composition shown in Table 1, has the effect of clearing heat, detoxifying, invigorating the circulation of blood, and unblocking circulation tracts. SMYA has a significant effect on various diseases, which are based on As lesions, for ...
Although this was a confounding factor that likely affected the presence of inflammation in the plaque, the effect on macrophage infiltration, number of SMCs, and neovascularization still was significant after adjusting for symptoms (Table IV). This finding has yet to be investigated and be ...
which reveals a pattern of evenly distributed blood vessels in the form of dots below the stratum corneum and epidermal peeling resembling white scales, may be helpful [10]. When the diagnosis cannot be made based on the clinical picture and dermoscopy, a skin biopsy from the lesion and histop...
There was a good concordance of interobserver and intraobserver agreement for the diagnosis of a TCFA (κ = 0.768, 0.735) and rupture (κ = 0.705, 0.829). Results Patient characteristics, angiographic data, and FFR and IMR values The baseline characteristics of 340 patients are summarized in ...
This would enable imaging of lipid and protein in the arterial wall to further characterize the fibrous cap (largely collagen and elastin) and the precise thickness of the lipid core. This is highly significant for diagnosis of vulnerable plaque, since it has been gen- erally accepted that a ...
Macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques have been found to undergo ferroptosis, a form of iron-dependent cell programmed death that differs from apoptosis, cell necrosis, and autophagy, and explains the effect of iron overload on atherosclerotic vascular disease leading to cell death [22]. The ...
such as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, has reduced mortality rates, these same risk factors are poor indicators of acute or recurrent events6. Despite our improved understanding of the physiology of atherosclerotic plaque development and progression, no clinically relevant imaging tools are...
