The Vasa Vasorum and Associated Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase is More Important for Saphenous Vein Than Arterial Bypass GraftsAngiology - Tập 64 Số 4 - Trang 293-299 - 2013

No-touch (NT) saphenous vein (SV) grafts are superior to SVs harvested by the conventional technique (CT), with a patency comparable with the internal thoracic artery (ITA). Preservation of the vasa vasorum is implicated in the success of NT harvesting. We compared the vasa vasorum and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in NT SV with ITA and radial artery (RA) grafts. Skeletonized S...... hiện toàn bộ
The Road From Obesity to Type 2 DiabetesAngiology - Tập 59 Số 2_suppl - Trang 39S-43S - 2008
Ioannis Ioannidis
It is well known that the relative risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus increases with increasing body mass index. The presence of not only excessive body fat but also the pattern of fat distribution (central obesity) is important for other metabolic abnormalities included in the metabolic syndrome. The possible mechanisms linking obesity to type 2 diabetes including high concentra...... hiện toàn bộ

The Centralized pan-Middle East Survey on the undertreatment of hypercholesterolemia (CEPHEUS) survey evaluated the attainment of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goals among patients on lipid-lowering drugs (LLDs) according to the updated National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP)-Adult Treatment Panel (ATP-III) guideline. The survey was conducted in 6 Arabian Gulf countrie...... hiện toàn bộ
Serum Uric AcidAngiology - Tập 63 Số 6 - Trang 420-428 - 2012
Zhengyun Zhang, Lu‐Qin Bian, Yoon‐Ho Choi
Serum uric acid (SUA) is a potential risk factor for atherosclerosis. We assessed the relationship between SUA and subclinical atherosclerosis in Korean men (n = 3010). Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and ultrasonographic measurements of coronary artery calcification (CAC) and carotid intima–media thickness (cIMT), respectively, are markers of subclinical atherosclerosis. Odds ra...... hiện toàn bộ

Matched groups of 7 to 8 patients with primary Raynaud's phenomenon, systemic sclerosis, and undifferentiated connective tissue disease and cold-tolerant normal control subjects were studied by simultaneous digital strain gauge plethysmography and laser Doppler capillary velocimetry during two controlled cycles of hand warming and cooling with and without addition of central cooling and d...... hiện toàn bộ
Clinical Perspectives of Primary Cardiac LymphomaAngiology - Tập 54 Số 5 - Trang 599-604 - 2003
Ramesh M. Gowda, Ijaz A. Khan
Primary cardiac lymphoma is a very rare malignancy, which is typically of a non-Hodgkin type, and involves only the heart and pericardium with no or minimal evidence of extracardiac involvement. Primary cardiac lymphoma account for about 1% of the primary cardiac tumors and 0.5% of the extranodal lymphomas. On the other hand, disseminated lymphoma with cardiac involvement can occur in up ...... hiện toàn bộ
