European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2002Platelets play an important, but often under-recognized role in cardiovascular disease. For example, the normal response of the platelet can be altered, either by increased pro-aggregatory stimuli or by diminished anti-aggregatory substances to produce conditions of increased platelet activation/aggregation and occur in active cardiovascular disease ...

Leukotrienes in Cardiovascular Diseases
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2000Cysteinyl-leukotrienes (cys-LTs, LTC4, LTD4,and LTE4) are potent lipid mediators, resulting from the oxidative metabolism of arachidonic acid through the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway. They are able to affect all major components of the cardiovascular system: they can constrict small and large vessels, modify cardiac and coronary functions, influence ...

Alcohol and cardiovascular diseases
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2001With respect to cardiovascular disorders, epidemiologic studies support the hypothesis of increased risks among heavy alcohol drinkers and indicate a lower risk among lighter drinkers. Increased cardiovascular risks of heavy drinking include cardiomyopathy, systemic hypertension, supraventricular arrhythmias, hemorrhagic stroke and heart failure that ...

Cardiovascular disease in the elderly
Current Problems in Cardiology, 1992The current worldwide explosive increase in the numbers of older persons is unprecedented in history. In the 1990s and beyond, the preponderance of patients with cardiovascular illness will be elderly, with a substantial subset among the frail elderly, 85 years old and older.
