Obstructive sleep apnea may be a riskfactor for developing abdominal aorticaneurysms, according to researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine and NextGen Precision Health.
BackgroundAbdominal aorticaneurysm (AAA) is a severe aortic disease for which no pharmacological interventions have yet been developed. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. Colocalization analysis pinpointed 13 proteins with strong evidence of colocalization with AAA.
Open repair of thoracoabdominal aorticaneurysm (TAAA) was characterized by significant risk of postoperative mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to determine the perioperative predictors of ear.
BACKGROUND:The pathophysiology of familial thoracic aorticaneurysm and dissection (TAAD) is linked to genetic variants that affect aortic components. Hypertension, Ahead of Print. These findings establish a genetic link between systolic hypertension and TAAD.
Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is an emerging surrogate indicator of insulin resistance, which has been demonstrated as a riskfactor for various cardiovascular diseases including coronary syndrome, in-stent.
BACKGROUND:Abdominal aorticaneurysm (AAA) is a potentially life-threatening vascular condition, but approved medical therapies to prevent AAA progression and rupture are currently lacking. GM3 content and ST3GAL5 expression were decreased in abdominal aortic vascular SMCs in patients with AAA and an AAA mouse model.
This unique case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of a patient with multiple vascular riskfactors who suffered from strokes secondary to BHS.MethodsA 79‐year‐old man with a past medical history of peripheral artery disease, abdominal aorticaneurysm, myocardial infarction with drug eluding stents (on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)), (..)
Blood lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides are causal riskfactors for coronary heart disease as well as several other types of cardiovascular disease , such as aortic stenosis). While some genes have been associated with the risk of developing AAA disease, none is thought to cause an AAA by itself.
The scientific statement, Sex Differences in Peripheral Vascular Disease, summarizes current knowledge of the differences between men and women with PVD; highlights disparities in riskfactors, screening, treatment and outcomes; and outlines key research priorities to mitigate these disparities and promote health equity.
BackgroundSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of acute coronary syndrome or sudden cardiac death, primarily affecting relatively young women (median age, 51 years) without typical cardiovascular riskfactors.
Variables and prognosis were analysed based on the presence or absence of NCA, defined as previous stroke, transient ischaemic attack (TIA), or peripheral artery disease (PAD) [lower extremity artery disease (LEAD), carotid disease, previous lower limb vascular surgery, or abdominal aorticaneurysm (AAA)].
An exposome-wide association study was conducted using relative protein concentrations, adjusted for a range of classic, demographic, and lifestyle riskfactors. CONCLUSIONS:Measurement of targeted protein biomarkers produced superior prediction of aggregated and disaggregated cardiovascular events.
Maintaining vascular health at every age supports overall health, quality of life, and longevity, yet more than seven in 10 doctors haven’t talked to their patients over the age of 50 about their risk for vascular disease, or their Strong Vessel Score [SVS Consumer Survey].
1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aorticaneurysm).3 mg) to reduce the risks of heart attack, stroke, coronary revascularization, and CV death.29 4 In the U.S. As of June 2023, the U.S. Circulation.
CT angiogram chest: no aortic dissection or pulmonary embolism. Repeat CT angio chest (not CT coronary, unclear what protocol) showed possible LAD aneurysm and thrombus. Smith Major Learning Point: The worst riskfactor for a bad outcome in OMI is young age because cardiologists cannot believe that a young person can have an OMI.
Objective Historical reductions in cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to lifestyle and treatment improvements are now threatened by factors such as increasing obesity and diabetes, but the relative importance of different riskfactors varies by CVD condition.
Aorticaneurysms, particularly abdominal aorticaneurysms (AAAs), exhibit sex differences, with higher prevalence and severity in males than females, both in humans and experimental mouse models. In fact, male sex has been considered as the most potent nonmodifiable riskfactor for AAA.
Single-factor analysis indicated that age, hypertension, maximum aneurysm diameter, proportion of intraluminal thrombus, diameter of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA), and number of patent lumbar arteries (LA) were riskfactors for T2EL-related reintervention. and aneurysm diameter of 53.55
Look for Vascular Etiology -- think of these while doing H and P: --Bleeding: ruptured AAA, GI bleed, ruptured ectopic pregnancy, other spontaneous bleed such as mesenteric aneurysms. Aortic Dissection, Valvular (especially Aortic Stenosis), Tamponade. heart auscultation (aortic stenosis); c. orthostatic vitals b.
BackgroundType I endoleaks (T1ELs) and type II endoleaks (T2ELs) are among the most severe complications that occur after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and open surgery. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography of the entire aorta confirmed the diagnosis of aortic disease (e.g.,
AorticAneurysms : An aneurysm is an abnormal bulge in a blood vessel wall. Vasculitis : Inflammation of blood vessels that can lead to organ damage or an aneurysm. Carotid Ultrasound : Evaluates blood flow to the brain and detects stroke riskfactors.
