BACKGROUND
To investigate the results after carotid endarterectomy performed for asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) in a single high-volume center and define the factors that increase perioperative stroke and mortality rate.
METHODS
This observational study that analyzes prospectively collected
OBJECTIVE
Population studies have shown obesity and diabetes to be risk factors for atherosclerosis. We assessed changes in the common carotid arteries in rat models of obesity and diabetes without hypertension.
METHODS
Twenty 30-week-old male spontaneously diabetic and obese model Otsuka Long-Evans
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether the obesity paradox exists in patients who undergo carotid artery stenting (CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for symptomatic carotid artery stenosis.
METHODS
We combined individual patient data from 2 randomized trials (Endarterectomy vs Angioplasty in Patients
Color Doppler and CT angiography are diagnostic methods commonly used to determine the degree of carotid stenosis.To evaluate how the degree of carotid stenosis determined by the Color Doppler correlates with the degree of stenosis determined by the CT We evaluated the clinical usefulness of assessing the ankle-brachial index (ABI) and carotid stenosis (CS) in a type 2 diabetic population. Patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease (n = 265) were enrolled in a prospective 3-year cohort study. The cardiovascular mortality rate was
Concurrent carotid artery stenosis and ischaemic heart disease rates are increasing day by day in Bangladesh. Moreover, carotid artery stenosis has been identified as a high-risk factor for postoperative ischaemic cerebral inconvenience following coronary artery bypass graft OBJECTIVE
Previous studies have shown that increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) predict cardiovascular events, including stroke, myocardial infarction and death from cardiovascular causes. Previous studies have also shown that increased levels of CRP are strong predictors of the progression
The aims of this epidemiological population-based cohort study were to examine the prevalence and outcomes of asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) detected by duplex scanning and its relations to other vascular risk factors. A total of 500 volunteers, 200 men and 300 women, without signs and symptoms
OBJECTIVE
In contrast to the commonly used quantitative marker of subclinical atherosclerosis, namely intima-media thickness, we investigated the extent to which the presence or absence of carotid artery plaque (CAP) was under genetic control.
METHODS
The study population consisted of 750
BACKGROUND
Moderate to severe stenosis is the less prevalent among the forms of carotid atherosclerotic disease), but it carries a high risk of ischaemic stroke.
OBJECTIVE
To characterise factors associated with moderate to severe carotid stenosis in a high-risk population.
METHODS
We performed an
UNASSIGNED
For Germany, regional variation of procedure rates of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) performed for carotid stenosis have so far not been analyzed at a national level. The aim of this study was to assess small area estimates of procedure rates among German
BACKGROUND
Obesity is a risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease. Altered adipokine secretion, including increased production of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) and retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) may link adipose tissue dysfunction to cardiovascular complications.
METHODS
We
The objective of this study was to compare subjects with intermediate postchallenge hyperglycemia (INPH) to those with normal glycemic status, impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), as well as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, the authors evaluated the impact
Obesity is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. Adipokines may directly influence vessel wall homeostasis by influencing the function of endothelial cells, arterial smooth muscle cells, and modulating inflammation. Recently, visceral adipose tissue-derived serpin (vaspin) was identified as a
Objective: Treatment of asymptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis, particularly for moderate to severe (70%-80%) disease, is controversial. The goal was to assess the clinical course of patients with moderate to severe carotid
