Intestinal fatty acid binding protein is associated with coronary artery disease in long-term type 1 diabetes—the Dialong study

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Individuals with type 1 diabetes are at increased risk of accelerated atherosclerosis, causing coronary artery disease (CAD). The underlying mechanisms remain unclear, but new theories proposed are damage of g.

Relationship between peri-coronary inflammation and coronary vascular function in patients with suspected coronary artery disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background In this study, we aim to investigate the relationship between the attenuation of peri-coronary adipose tissue (PCAT) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and the assessment of coronary vascular functions using coronary flow reserve (CFR). in 206 (57%) patients. HU vs. −77.1 HU;

7 Things You Can Do To Reduce Your Risk Even If You Already Have Heart Disease.

Dr. Paddy Barrett

A common feedback I get is that people with existing coronary artery disease feel like it doesn’t apply to them. Arguably, applying the principles of prevention offers more bang for buck in the short term for people WITH coronary artery disease than those without coronary artery disease.

Atherosclerosis Updates from the 92nd EAS Congress

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

The EAS 2024 Congress (May 26-29, 2024) has concluded, providing critical insights into atherosclerosis and related vascular disease. Giovanna Liuzzo (Italy) revealed that advancements in noninvasive imaging recently allow for direct visualization of coronary atherosclerotic plaques. Here are some notable highlights: Prof.

Influence of remnant lipoprotein particle cholesterol on non-target lesions progression in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundLow-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) is the primary lipid therapy target for coronary artery disease (CAD) patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). High RLP-C levels increased the risk of revascularization.

Why Measuring ApoB Is The Key To Preventing Heart Disease.

Dr. Paddy Barrett

When we say heart disease, what we really mean is plaque in the artery wall. This Is Known As Atherosclerosis. The fundamental cause of atherosclerosis is when a cholesterol particle crosses into the artery wall from the bloodstream, gets stuck, and sets off an inflammatory process 1. No atherosclerosis.

Non-coronary atherosclerosis: a marker of poor prognosis in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction The presence of non-coronary atherosclerosis (NCA) in patients with coronary artery disease is associated with a poor prognosis. We have studied whether NCA is also a predictor of poorer outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
