aortic aneurysm/triglyceride

BACKGROUND We aimed to determine the relationship between ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and serum concentrations of lipids and apolipoproteins. METHODS A cohort of 21 520 men, aged 35-64 years, was recruited from men attending the British United Provident Association (BUPA) clinic in

Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) have been compared with healthy controls with respect to the serum concentrations of triglyceride, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and (VLDL + LDL)-cholesterol. The concentrations of triglyceride and (VLDL + LDL)-cholesterol in serum were higher in the

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a vascular disease that results in the gradual dilation of the abdominal aorta and has a high rupture-related mortality rate. However, the mechanism of AAA rupture remains unknown. In our previous study, we established a novel AAA animal model

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common chronic degenerative disease characterized by progressive aortic dilation and rupture. The mechanisms underlying the role of α-tocopherol and β-carotene on AAA have not been comprehensively assessed. We investigated if α-tocopherol and β-carotene

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether any variables in a health-screened population study were associated with later development of large abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). METHODS Malmö, Southern Sweden. METHODS Within the Malmö Preventive Study 22,444 men and 10,982 women were investigated between 1974

BACKGROUND As the most common type of aneurysm, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has an unfavorable prognosis due to the high frequency of rupture. Studies have indicated a close relationship between the pathogenesis and progression of AAA and abnormal serum lipid levels. ATP-binding cassette

Background- Inflammation is an important pathophysiological feature of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Whether elevated levels of inflammation-sensitive plasma proteins (ISPs) predict the long-term risk of fatal or repaired AAA is largely unknown. RESULTS Five ISPs (fibrinogen, orosomucoid,

OBJECTIVE No prospective study has investigated whether elevated lipoprotein(a) concentrations are associated with an increased risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). We aimed to prospectively investigate this association. METHODS In 1987-1989, the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study

Individuals treated for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are high-risk patients in whom better risk prediction could improve survival. Contemporary serum lipid parameters, such as apolipoproteins and lipoprotein subfractions, may improve or complement the prognostic value of traditional serum

OBJECTIVE to study the role of smoking, lipids, lipoprotein (a), and autoantibodies against oxidised low density lipoprotein (Ab-oxLDL) in the expansion of small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). To study the role of Ab-oxLDL and lp(a) in the progression of lower limb atherosclerosis. METHODS one

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in men with diabetes aged 60 years and over. METHODS Prospective screening study. METHODS 303 eligible participants among the first 1000 recruited to a large, community-based study of diabetes. METHODS Aortic diameter > or = 30 mm

OBJECTIVE This study seeks to determine the risks for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiometabolic disease (CMR) in elderly patients with mild-moderate abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). METHODS Three hundred two elderly patients with diagnosed small AAA disease were subjects. CMR was assessed

Disorders of the lipid metabolism may play a role in the genesis of abdominal aorta aneurysm. The present study examined the intravascular catabolism of chylomicrons, the lipoproteins that carry the dietary lipids absorbed by the intestine in the circulation in patients with abdominal aorta

A woman aged 75 years developed chylous ascites day 5 after emergency abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. She was still on artificial ventilation at the time of diagnosis. The first symptoms were high ventilation pressure, an elevated diaphragm, and abdominal distention. The patient was treated

OBJECTIVE To promote better treatment outcome, as well as economic benefit it is very important to find out patients with simultaneous occurrence of both aortic and arterial aneurysms. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the frequency and factors affecting femoropopliteal (F-P)
