Determination of Pericardial Adipose Tissue Increases the Prognostic Accuracy of Coronary Artery Calcification for Future Cardiovascular Events [PDF]
Objectives: Pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is associated with coronary artery plaque accumulation and the incidence of coronary heart disease. We evaluated the possible incremental prognostic value of PAT for future cardiovascular events.

The Coronary Artery Disease Paradox [PDF]
After effective antihypertensive therapy was introduced in the 1950s, we rapidly showed that lowering blood pressure in patients with hypertensive crises saved lives. In the 1960s, the benefit for those with asymptomatic elevations of diastolic blood pressure levels of > or = 115 mm Hg was proven and, in the early 1970s, the value for those with ...

Aneurysmal coronary artery disease of the right coronary artery [PDF]
Coronary artery aneurysms are uncommon, with male dominance and uncertain natural history. The RCA is predilected in 50% of cases. Complications are thrombus, risk of rupture and vasospasm. Treatment is not clearly defined, only anecdotal experience exists. We treated two elder male patients with isolated large aneurysm of the RCA (Fig. 1a,b) presented

Low adiponectin levels are an independent predictor of mixed and non-calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaques. [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of coronary artery disease (CAD). There is increasing recognition that lesion composition rather than size determines the acute complications of atherosclerotic disease.

Heart rate and use of beta-blockers in stable outpatients with coronary artery disease [PDF]
<p><b>Background:</b> Heart rate (HR) is an emerging risk factor in coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there is little contemporary data regarding HR and the use of HR-lowering medications, particularly beta-blockers, among ...

Adipokines and coronary artery disease
Adipose tissue, besides being an important energetic storage, is also a source of cytokines and hormones which act in a paracrine, autocrine and especially endocrine manner, influencing the cardiometabolic axis. Adipokines are a group of mediators with pleiotropic function, that are involved in many physiological processes, so that a disregulation in ...
