BackgroundProtruding aortic plaque is known to be associated with an increased risk for future cardiac and cerebrovascular events. Coronary plaque characteristics were compared to evaluate coronary plaque vulnerability in patients with protruding aortic plaque on computed tomography angiography.
Secondary hypertension : This type results from an underlying condition such as kidneydisease, hormonal disorders, or the use of certain medications. Artery Damage : Hypertension damages the inner lining of your arteries, making them less elastic and more prone to plaque buildup.
The role of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), which is the most abundant stable product of lipid peroxidation, in vascular calcification has been poorly investigated.METHODS:Serum was collected from patients with chronic kidneydisease and controls, and the levels of 4-HNE and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α were measured.
Heart bypass surgery, or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), is performed to treat patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD). This condition occurs when the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart become blocked or narrowed by plaque buildup.
PAD is a serious, progressive cardiovascular disease primarily caused by a buildup of fatty plaque in the blood vessels, or atherosclerosis. This plaque narrows the blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the legs and feet, which may significantly impair physical function, walking performance and quality of life.
IntroductionAtherosclerosis, the hardening and narrowing of the arteries, occurs due to the buildup of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries which can result in reduced blood flow to the organs and tissues. Risk factors such as smoking, chronic kidneydisease, and aging can contribute to plaque formation.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3
Even the oldest among the tribe, people well past 70 years old, showed zero evidence of heart plaque buildup. Another study found that they don’t get diabetes and kidneydiseases (the ninth leading cause of death). Tsimane hearts appeared, on average, 30 years younger than those of the average American.
Objective:High calcium (Ca), low phosphate(P), and Ca-P product (CPP) levels are associated with cardiovascular disease and coronary artery atherosclerosis in patients with chronic kidneydisease. However, whether this relationship persists in individuals with carotid artery atherosclerosis of acute ischemic stroke is unknown.
Additionally, 10% of the global population suffers from chronic kidneydisease , with diabetes and hypertension as significant risk factors. Disparities in care are also concerning, with diagnosed cardiometabolic diseases varying up to twofold among different racial and ethnic groups. In the U.S.,
