The effects of high blood pressure on atherosclerosis were examined in the Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbit. For this purpose, the subdiaphragmatic aorta of rabbits was partially ligated (coarctation) to increase blood pressure. Atherosclerosis was assessed 4 months later by
BACKGROUND
Chylothorax after congenital heart surgery (CHD) is a potentially challenging complication. The purpose of this study was to review our experience with the management of chylothorax following congenital heart surgery.
METHODS
Between September 1997 and August 2006, of 1341 pediatric
Cardiac hypertrophy was induced in rabbits by subcutaneous injection of thyroxine or isoprenaline or by surgically constricting the abdominal aorta. Alterations in lipid metabolism were observed in these hypertrophic hearts. Thyroxine or isoprenaline treatment increased the fatty acids in the serum
BACKGROUND
There is strong correlation among hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia which are important risk factor for the cardiovascular disease. Objective of this study was to assess and compare the prevalence of obesity, hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia among young and old
Atherosclerosis has been correlated with known cardiovascular risk factors such as serum glucose or lipid levels. Because congenital heart disease patients tend to survive until adulthood, atherosclerosis has also become a matter of concern in these patients. One hundred fifty-eight congenital heart
BACKGROUND
Today's lifestyle is characterized by increased intake of calories with reduced physical activity, which benefits a real epidemic of obesity in the population. The increase in the prevalence of hypertension in the population follows a significant increase in the prevalence of obesity.
Turner syndrome is due to haploinsufficiency of X chromosome genes that escape inactivation and associates female phenotype, short stature, gonadal dysgenesis, somatic stigmata, cardiovascular and renal anomalies and a large spectrum of other disorders (autoimmune thyroiditis, osteoporosis,
