Plaque consists of fatty deposits that accumulate on the walls of your arteries. With plaque buildup, the artery walls harden and their passageway narrows, limiting blood flow to other organs and body parts that need oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to function. This results in a condition known ...
According to the study conducted on 543 Type-2 diabetics, Actos slowed down the progression of plaque build-up in the artery walls. Contrary results were observed among patients who took the older diabetes medication, glimepiride. Similar to GlaxoSmithKline's Avandia, Actos is reported to increase...
The researchers identified a new mechanism responsible for the buildup of plaque on artery walls, a process known as atherosclerosis. This plaque, made up of fats, cholesterol and other substances, can restrict blood flow and is a major factor in cardiovascular disease. "We identified a new mec...
" is the raw material of cholesterol plaques. It can damage the arteries that carry blood from yourheartto the rest of your body. Then, once the damage has started, LDL keeps on building up in the artery walls. Progressive and painless, atherosclerosis grows cholesterol plaques silently and ...
A drug-coated nanoparticle reduces plaque buildup in mouse arteries without causing harmful side effects, Stanford School of Medicine researchers have found. Atherosclerosis, the accumulation of plaque inside artery walls, can lead to heart attacks and strokes. It's the world's No. 1 killer. Avai...
An accumulation in artery walls made up of macrophage cells and debris containing lipids, (cholesterol and fatty acids), calcium, and connective tissue; an atheroma. An accumulation of biofilm, or bacteria, on teeth, which may develop into dental calculus (tartar). ...
Build up of plaque on the inside of the artery wall in the heart can cause a heart attack. Which dietary macromolecules is most likely the cause of that type of plaque build up? what are the most common causes of heart block in the human heart ...
Plaque that accumulates on the inner walls of your arteries is made from various substances that circulate in your blood. These includecalcium, fat, cholesterol, cellular waste, and fibrin, a material involved in blood clotting. In response to plaque buildup, cells in your artery walls multiply...
◇ It involved 26 adults with an average age of 64, all diagnosed with coronary artery disease, caused by plaque buildup in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. 平均年龄为64岁的26名成人参与了这个试验,他们全都确诊冠心病,这种病是由给心脏供血的冠状动脉内壁斑块的累积导致的...
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty is one of the potential approaches to alleviating in-stent restenosis and treating peripheral artery disease. An in-silico model has been developed for sirolimus drug eluted from an inflated balloon in a patient-spec
