A role for autophagy in carotid atherosclerosis [PDF]

European Stroke Journal, 2016
Abstract Purpose Autophagy has emerged in recent years as a critical cellular survival mechanism for cell homeostasis and may play a protective role in atherosclerosis. We aimed to review here the role autophagy plays in different cell types present in carotid atherosclerotic plaques and that ...

Overexpression of YKL-40 predicts plaque instability in carotid atherosclerosis with CagA-positive Helicobacter pylori infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
YKL-40 has been demonstrated to be related to atherosclerosis, but its role in predicting plaque status and the outcome of carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) caused by CagA-positive Helicobacter pylori remains unclear.

Factors associated with cardiovascular events after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant from the US Multicenter Simultaneous Liver–Kidney Transplant Consortium

Hepatology Communications, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...

Atherosclerosis of the Carotid Artery

, 2019
Atherosclerosis, a disease affecting the large- and medium-sized vessels, is present in every human being. Atherosclerotic plaques can directly or indirectly cause obstruction of the arterial blood supply, causing ischemic damage distal from the occlusion.

Sex-specific association between carotid atherosclerosis and fundus arteriosclerosis in a Chinese population: a retrospective cross-sectional study

European Journal of Medical Research, 2023
Objectives Vascular stiffening is highly predictive of major adverse cardiovascular events. It is not clear whether microangiopathy, such as fundus arteriosclerosis, is related to carotid atherosclerosis. Hence, this study was designed to investigate the
