How Apob & Visceral Fat Increase Your Risk Of Heart Disease.

Dr. Paddy Barrett

ApoB Atherosclerosis, by definition, is caused by the retention of an ApoB lipid particle in the artery wall. This retained particle then sets off an inflammatory cascade, which ultimately results in the formation of atherosclerosis 1. Mechanism of atherosclerosis formation. Relationship of BMI and Risk Of Diabetes.

A retrospective single-centre study on determinants of high-risk coronary artery calcium (CAC) score in women

The British Journal of Cardiology

One of the assessments for coronary atherosclerosis during cardiac computed tomography (CT) is coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring. We found that a history of hypertension and diabetes are independent determinants of having a high-risk CAC score. This study involved a total of 1,129 female patients from a single centre.

Why You Need To Measure apoB To Assess Your Cardiovascular Risk

Dr. Paddy Barrett

The fundamental characteristic of atherosclerosis is when a cholesterol particle becomes trapped in the artery wall. It is the inflammatory response to this particle retention that causes the formation of atherosclerosis 1. Lipoprotein particles entering the subintimal space causing atherosclerosis.

Abstract 188: Rescue Left Middle Cerebral Artery Stenting With Xience Skypoint Everolimus?Eluting Stent: Technical Report

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionDrug‐eluting stent (DES) use in symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis disease (ICAD) has been described in the literature using different guiding and distal access catheters. Patient’s aphasia and hemiparesis worsened with segmental hypoperfusion which resolved by maintaining high blood pressures with norepinephrine drip.

Abstract 151: Age?Related Increases in Carotid Artery Calcification: Insights from NaF PET/CT Imaging

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

The gradual loss of elasticity in arterial walls and the presence of other risk factors, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, contribute to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) observed in aging populations. Risk factors such as smoking, chronic kidney disease, and aging can contribute to plaque formation.
