Lower extremity peripheralarterydisease (PAD) often results from atherosclerosis, and is highly prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Individuals with T2DM exhibit a more severe manifes.
METHODS:The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing.
Researchers have discovered that the smooth muscle cells that line the arteries of people with atherosclerosis can change into new cell types and develop traits similar to cancer that worsen the disease.
It is estimated that more than 10 million Americans are living with PAD, or PeripheralArteryDisease. PAD is a serious condition affecting circulation and blood vessels, causing them to narrow from plaque buildup in the arteries and blocking blood flow to the extremities, typically the legs and feet.
Using mediation Mendelian randomization, we explored proteomic mediators of the effects of genetically proxied IL-6 signaling on coronary arterydisease, large artery atherosclerotic stroke, and peripheralarterydisease.
Results highlight the benefit of achieving sustained virological response with DAAs for decreasing patients’ risk of carotid atherosclerosis and peripheralarterydisease, especially among those with severe fibrosis.
Vascular disease affects the body’s vast network of blood vessels, veins and arteries. Common examples of vascular disease are aneurysms (a dangerous bulge in an artery wall), atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the… Source

Background:Peripheral arterydisease (PAD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality and is closely related to diabetes mellitus (DM) and atherosclerosis. Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4136687-A4136687, November 12, 2024.
Repeat CTA head and neck demonstrated multifocal intracranial atherosclerosis with marked stenosis of the left V4 segment. However, marked stenosis at V2 appeared to be owed to external compression from facet arthrosis rather than atherosclerosis. He also had moderate stenosis of the right V4 segment.
A new joint guideline from the American Heart Association (AHA), the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and nine other medical societies reports early diagnosis and treatment of peripheralarterydisease is essential to improve outcomes and reduce amputation risk, heart attack, stroke and death for people with PeripheralArteryDisease (PAD).
Introduction The presence of non-coronary atherosclerosis (NCA) in patients with coronary arterydisease 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).
BackgroundPerfusion deficits contribute to symptom severity, morbidity, and death in peripheralarterydisease (PAD); however, no standard method for quantifying absolute measures of skeletal muscle perfusion exists.
February 1, 2024 — As cardiologists, heart disease patients and the organizations that serve them across the country embark on American Heart Month, DAIC has compiled a snapshot of significant cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke statistics, along with a review of the atherosclerosis drug market. per 1,000* - 122.4
BackgroundPeripheral arterydisease (PAD) is on the rise worldwide, ranking as the third leading cause of atherosclerosis-related morbidity; much less is known about its trends in hospitalizations among methamphetamine and cocaine users.ObjectivesWe aim to evaluate the overall trend in the prevalence of hospital admission for PAD with or without the (..)
1 Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that affects multiple vascular regions and is particularly severe in PAD patients, where up to 80 percent suffer from concurrent coronary arterydisease (CAD), historically linked with a mortality rate exceeding 50 percent within five years. Journal of Vascular Surgery, Mar.
1,6 Until recently atherosclerosis has been thought of as the result of passive lipid accumulation in the vessel wall. However, the development of atherosclerosis is now known to be much more complex, with a key role for immune cells and inflammation in conjunction with hyperlipidemia and elevated LDL levels.7
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is an ultra-rare genetic premature aging disease that is historically fatal in teenage years, secondary to severe accelerated atherosclerosis. years by 4.3 years (30%). Intervention to relieve critical AS has the potential for immediate improvement in healthspan and lifespan.
