Shear stress, inflammation and AtherosclerosisElsevier BV - Tập 4 - Trang 41-46 - 2010

Atherosclerosis is the disease with one of the largest mortalities of the Western world. An important cause of this high mortality rate is rupture of atherosclerotic plaques and subsequent total blockage of the vessel by thrombus. Because, plaque rupture has been associated with a distinct plaque phenotype there is a growing need for understanding the pathogenesis of plaque composition. In this ma...... hiện toàn bộ
Post-processing reproducibility of the structural characteristics of the common carotid artery in a Flemish populationElsevier BV - Tập 19 - Trang 9-17 - 2017

Common carotid artery (CCA) intima-media thickness (IMT), lumen diameter, and maximum plaque thickness were assessed on ultrasound images. The objective of the study was to evaluate the intra- and inter-reader reproducibility of the measurements following a standardised protocol. Two readers performed the off-line measurements on B-mode ultrasound images of the distal CCA, in a randomly selected s...... hiện toàn bộ
P6.5 Effectiveness of Facebook For Participant Recruitment Into a Blood Pressure Randomised Controlled Clinical TrialElsevier BV - Tập 12 - Trang 26-26 - 2015
Erin Nash, James Sharman
The cost of conventional advertising to recruit participants for clinical trials is expensive and can be ineffective. Social media may be a useful tool to improve participant recruitment. This study evaluated the use of Facebook advertising to recruit participants into a clinical trial. Conventional advertisements (newspaper, radio, posters in doctors clinics) were employed for the first 20 months...... hiện toàn bộ
P5.10 Influence of Obesity in the Relationship Between Carotid Artery Function and Central Blood PressureElsevier BV - - 2014
A. Casanova, G. Pichler, O. Juan, E. Solaz, J. Mas, F. Martinez
Obesity blunts the association of cfPWV with BP, at least in youth. We assessed the impact of BMI in the relationship between carotid artery function (CAF) and central BP. Stiffness index (β), Elastic modulus (Ep), Arterial Compliance (AC) and local PWV (PWVβ) were measured at the common carotid arteries by echo-tracking (Aloka prosound alpha 10), and central BP was assessed with the SphygmoCor de...... hiện toàn bộ
No Generation, Blood Pressure and Vascular Stiffness: Lessons from the Angiotensin AT2 ReceptorElsevier BV - - 2014
T. Unger
Vascular remodeling participates in the development and progression of cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis or aneurysm. This process is fine-tuned by neuro-humoral regulatory pathways: the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), being one of the most important. Chronic RAS activation, via AT1 receptor (AT1R) stimulation sets on a series of pro-proliferative, pro-fibrotic, pro-i...... hiện toàn bộ
