Carotid artery stenosis (CAS), mainly caused by carotid atherosclerosis, is related to ischemic stroke. We investigated whether C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR) was associated with increased severity of carotid stenosis in patients undergoing carotid angiography. A total of 269
Objective: Monocyte count to HDL-C Ratio (MHR) and Fibrinogen to Albumin Ratio (FAR) have recently emerged as markers of inflammation in atherosclerotic diseases. Our goal was to investigate the relationships of MHR and FAR with the
We previously showed that renal artery stenosis (RAS) was commonly found in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as myocardial infarction, stroke, or abdominal aneurysm. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for RAS in patients with severe carotid
BACKGROUND
Accumulation of LDL within the arterial wall appears to play a crucial role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerotic plaque. The dynamic sequence of this event has not been fully elucidated in humans.
RESULTS
In 7 patients with previous transient ischemic attack or stroke and
OBJECTIVE
As oxidative stress is known to be associated with the development of atherosclerosis, we investigated whether the serum S-glutathionylated proteins were increased in patients with carotid artery stenosis (CS).
METHODS
Fifty-four patients with CS and 20 age-matched non-CS patients were
Symptomatic cervical carotid artery stenosis is one of the common causes of ischemic stroke in octogenarians. The records for 90 consecutive patients with symptomatic cervical carotid artery stenosis treated by carotid endarterectomy(CEA)were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and some major cardiovascular risk factors in uremic patients on chronic dialysis.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was carried out in 119 unselected dialysis patients (89 on hemodialysis and 30 on chronic ambulatory peritoneal
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the association of serum albumin (SA) with oxidative damage of human atherosclerotic plaques and the severity of atherosclerosis.
METHODS
Correlation of the levels of SA with those of lipid and protein oxidation of endarterectomy-removed carotid atherosclerotic plaques; SA
OBJECTIVE
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is an important regulator of glucose/lipid metabolism. Although there are studies examining the relationship between serum FGF21 levels and glucose homeostasis, the role of FGF21 remains unclear. The objective of this study was to examine whether serum
Frailty syndrome confers a greater risk of morbidity and mortality after operative interventions. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of frailty on the outcomes after carotid interventions, including both carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting BACKGROUND
The aim of the present study was to investigate the serum levels of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in type 2 diabetic patients without documented ischemic disease and the association between EPCs and atherosclerotic plaque formation in the carotid artery.
RESULTS
A clinic-based,
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are formed during protein modification by a reduction of sugars or reactive aldehydes. Depending on the pathology, various AGEs may be formed. They are stable compounds and are considered as potential diseases The aim of this study was to investigate the correlations of glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and glycated albumin (GA) with subclinical atherosclerosis in middle-aged and elderly Chinese populations with impaired glucose regulation (IGR). In total, 640 subjects with IGR and no history of
OBJECTIVE
Serum calcium level may be associated with the morbidity and mortality of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases. However, only a few large-scale population studies have been performed to investigate the association between serum calcium and carotid plaque.
METHODS
A retrospective
In a 3-year prospective study, the prevalence of albuminuria and its relationship to macrovascular disease, pre-existing vascular risk factors and mortality rate were studied in a random cohort of 290 patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus in general practice. Newly occurring micro- or
