EXISTING KNOWLEDGE AND MAIN ASSUMPTIONS OF THE PROJECT.
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The first symptom of PAD is intermittent claudication (IC), which is characterized by the occurrence of pain, cramps, numbness, and discomfort in the lower limb
Two distinct clinical entities affect the abdominal aorta: abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD). These are multifactorial vascular disorders caused by complex genetic and environmental factors. Older patients with more comorbidity are often affected. Open abdominal
Inflammation is extremely important in atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis pathophysiology. It is similarly important after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with a special participation on healing response and, consequently, on left ventricular remodeling (LVR).
Early successful reperfusion is
Search strategy:
A literature search of the Cochrane Library, Medline and PubMed will be conducted with the following search terms: "dietary supplements or supplement*" AND "cardiovascular disease or myocardial infarction or stroke or cardiovascular death or mortality or all-cause mortality or
Introduction Complications of diabetes, such as cardiovascular disease, are associated with increased mortality among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) also increases the relative risk of developing cardiovascular disease in women compared to men .
Subjects The study protocol and informed consent was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Hospital Santa Marcelina, Sao Paulo, Brazil (Process nº 09/08, CAAE nº 0016.0.270.000-08).Sixty women (figure 1) were postmenopausal selected from the outpatient Gynecology - Endocrine Hospital Santa
The China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial (CSPPT, NCT00794885) found that among hypertensive adults in China without a history of stroke or myocardial infarction, the combined use of enalapril and folic acid, compared with enalapril alone, significantly reduced the risk of first stroke. The mean

ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE CLASSIFICATION
Arterial Blood Pressure (ABP) is a complex physiological variable in regard to its measure, behavior between BP taken in the same visit at the office and between these and ABPM, chronobiology (different day time BP levels), evolution in time,
Atherosclerosis is common & remains a significant clinical problem because of leading to myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular death. Many studies founded hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for those cardiovascular diseases which take responsible for about 10% of total
The CSSPT study is a multi-center, randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled secondary stroke prevention trial in China to determine whether the addition of folic acid and vitamin supplements will reduce recurrent stroke events and other combined incidence of recurrent vascular events and
The Problem: Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) is a major health care problem across the entire word, and particularly in the United States, Japan and European Countries (1). In fact, these life-threatening disorders are a major cause of emergency medical care and hospitalization in the
Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) is a major health care problem across the entire word, and particularly in the United States. In fact, these life-threatening disorders are a major cause of emergency medical care and hospitalization in the United States, and according the National Center
The "homocysteine-hypothesis" of vascular disease has attracted considerable interest, as total plasma homocysteine levels can be easily lowered by folic acid and vitamin B12, raising the prospect that cardiovascular disease could be lowered by such B-vitamin supplementation.
Two large B-vitamin
Homocysteine is a thiol amino acid derived from dietary methionine. Elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), termed hyperhomocysteinemia, is a graded, independent risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. Elevated plasma tHcy can be normalized by supplementation with folic acid and
SLE is a chronic systemic autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Approximately 65% of patients develop SLE between 16 and 55 years of age, and it is 8-10 times more common in women. Overall prevalence is estimated at 40-50 per 100,000 individuals in the US. SLE typically includes periods of remission
