To investigate metabolic features that may predispose to GCA in a nested case-control study.Individuals who developed GCA after inclusion in a population-based health survey (the Malmö Preventive Medicine Project; N = 33 346) were identified and validated OBJECTIVE
To assess the occurrence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) compared to subjects without GCA.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed a population-based incidence cohort of Olmsted County, Minnesota residents with GCA diagnosed in 1950-2009. We
BACKGROUND
Antilipoprotein lipase (anti-LPL) antibodies were described in rheumatic diseases. In systemic lupus erythematosus they were highly associated with inflammatory markers and dyslipidemia, and may ultimately contribute to vascular damage. The relevance of this association in Takayasu's
Lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolic parameters, such as triglycerides, total and alpha-cholesterol, total protein and albumin, urea nitrogen, creatinine, glucose and the activity of alanine and aspartate aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase, total lactate dehydrogenase and creatine
Objective: To analyze clinical characteristics of intracranial vessel involvement in Takayasu's arteritis (TA). Methods: Retrospectively analyzed 135 hospitalized TA patients' clinical data in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from November 2012 to November 2018. Based on intracranial artery
In patients with Takayasu's arteritis (TA), current biomarkers that properly reflect the progression of the vascular structure remain absent. We aimed to determine the serum leptin level to investigate its relationship with imaging changes and assess its value as a predictor for The objective of this study is to characterize the lipoprotein risk levels in Takayasu arteritis (TA) patients and its possible association with disease activity and glucocorticoid use. Twenty-five female TA patients were consecutively included and compared with 30 age-, gender-, and body mass
The objective of this study was to evaluate traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in Takayasu arteritis (TA) patients. Twenty-two TA patients and 37 controls were evaluated. TA patients had a higher prevalence of hypertension (63.6% vs. 21.6%,
OBJECTIVE
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic vasculitis typically affecting temporal arteries. In at least 15% of cases, GCA also features inflammation of the aorta and its primary branches. Large-vessel inflammation restricted to proximal limb arteries in the absence of temporal and aortic
BACKGROUND
Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The link between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality is well established; however, the association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and cardiovascular
BACKGROUND
Statins not only lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, but also have several antiarteriosclerotic effects (eg, decreasing arterial inflammation and arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation, as well as antioxidant effects). The relationship between the dose of statin and its effects
A total of 251 young patients (less than 40 years) with stroke were admitted during a 7-year period and investigated. These constituted 30% of the total stroke patients admitted to this hospital. Among the young, 63% of strokes were of nonembolic occlusive group. Hemorrhagic strokes were observed in
C-reactive protein (CRP) has been known to be associated with vascular inflammation and hypertension. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) increases according to the degree of the arterial stiffness in hypertension patients. Therefore, PWV may be correlated with CRP levels in treated hypertensive patients,
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and profile of renal artery stenosis (RAS) in NIDDM population with severe hypertension. 60 consecutive NIDDM with severe HT (> or = 3 hypotensive drugs), 42 F/18 M (SR: 2.8), mean age: 66.6 +/- 6.5 years, diabetes duration: 14.1 +/- 6 years have
