Association between periodontal disease and atherosclerosis: a bibliometric analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundIn recent years, the relationship between periodontal disease (PD) and atherosclerosis (AS) has garnered significant scholarly attention. Keyword analysis reveals “atherosclerosis,” “periodontal disease,” “cardiovascular disease,” “Porphyromonas gingivalis,” and “periodontal pathogens” as research hotspots.

Winning the Battle Against Atherosclerosis: Practical, Proactive Solutions

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

Atherosclerosis (ASVD) remains a leading driver of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a global health challenge that claims millions of lives each year. A 2022 study published in Circulation demonstrated that earlier LDL-C reduction leads to compounded cardiovascular benefits over time. But what if prevention could rewrite the narrative?

Dynamic metabolism of endothelial triglycerides protects against atherosclerosis in mice

Journal of Clinical Investigation - Cardiology

Blood vessels are continually exposed to circulating lipids, and elevation of ApoB-containing lipoproteins causes atherosclerosis. Consistent with this mechanism, deletion of endothelial ATGL markedly increased lesion size in a model of atherosclerosis.

Link between high levels of niacin -- a common b vitamin -- and heart disease, study suggests

Science Daily - Heart Disease

Higher circulating levels of 4PY were strongly associated with development of heart attack, stroke and other adverse cardiac events in large-scale clinical studies. The researchers also showed in preclinical studies that 4PY directly triggers vascular inflammation which damages blood vessels and can lead to atherosclerosis over time.

Identification of microRNA biomarkers simultaneously expressed in circulating extracellular vesicles and atherosclerotic plaques

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The early detection of plaques by circulating biomarkers is highly clinically relevant to prevent the occurrence of major complications such as stroke or heart attacks. BackgroundAtherosclerosis is a widespread disorder of the cardiovascular system. EVs were isolated from serum by precipitation.

Exploring global research trends in Chinese medicine for atherosclerosis: a bibliometric study 2012–2023

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundWhile Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) boasts an extensive historical lineage and abundant clinical expertise in addressing atherosclerosis, this field is yet to be penetrated adequately by bibliometric studies. The Journal of Ethnopharmacology leads with the most publications and boasts the greatest total number of citations.
