Evolution of the wall shear stresses during the progressive enlargement of symmetric abdominal aortic aneurysms. [PDF]

, 2006
The changes in the evolution of the spatial and temporal distribution of the wall shear stresses (WSS) and gradients of wall shear stresses (GWSS) at different stages of the enlargement of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are important in understanding

Relation of fibroblast growth factor-23 and cardiovascular calcification in end-stage kidney disease patients on regular hemodialysis

Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2017
More than half of deaths in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients are due to cardiovascular disease. Elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) was found to be associated with mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients and correlates with peripheral ...

Abdominal aortic calcification: from ancient friend to modern foe [PDF]

European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 2020
Abstract Background Abdominal aortic calcifications were already ubiquitous in ancient populations from all continents. Although nowadays generally considered as an innocent end stage of stabilised atherosclerotic plaques, increasing evidence suggests that arterial calcifications contribute to ...

The impact of vascular calcification on ambulatory and central aortic blood pressure in a South African dwelling dialysis population : a clinical, radiological and pathophysiological study of vascular health in a young prevalent dialysis population in a developing country [PDF]

, 2011
Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.In Sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence of vascular calcification (VC) in CKD-5D is unknown. We undertook to determine the effect of ethnicity on VC, the risk factors for VC, the utility of abdominal X ...

Atherosclerotic Aortic Calcification-Associated Polymorphism in HDAC9 and Associations with Mortality, Cardiovascular Disease, and Kidney Disease

iScience, 2020
Summary: Histone deacetylase 9 (HDAC9) has recently been demonstrated as a key regulator of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype and is associated with abdominal aortic calcification, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke.

Cardiovascular risk assessment with the help of imaging modalities (abdominal aortic calcification scoring, carotid intima-media thickness, cardiac valvular calcifications) in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease

Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, 2023
Background: Patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased atherosclerotic burden. Several radiological methods have been used to investigate aortic calcification. Such methods are costly and are primarily used for clinical research

High-intensity interval exercise training before abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (HIT-AAA): protocol for a randomised controlled feasibility trial [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction: In patients with large abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), open surgical or endovascular aneurysm repair procedures are often used to minimise the risk of aneurysm-related rupture and death; however, aneurysm repair itself carries a high risk.

Abdominal aortic calcification in patients newly diagnosed with essential thrombocythemia

Blood Research, 2023
Although atherosclerosis is likely to be involved in the development of arterial thrombotic events in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET), abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) has rarely been investigated. We evaluated the prevalence and clinical relevance of AAC at the time of ET diagnosis.This retrospective study included patients newly ...

Observations from the IMPROVE trial concerning the clinical care of patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Single-centre series of the management of patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are usually too small to identify clinical factors that could improve patient outcomes.
