Determination of Pericardial Adipose Tissue Increases the Prognostic Accuracy of Coronary Artery Calcification for Future Cardiovascular Events [PDF]
, 2012 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.

Aneurysmal coronary artery disease of the right coronary artery [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2003 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]
, 2009 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.

The Coronary Artery Disease Paradox [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 1995 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 ...

Socioeconomic Status and Subclinical Coronary Disease in the Whitehall II Epidemiological Study [PDF]
, 2010 Background: There are pronounced socioeconomic disparities in coronary heart disease, but the extent to which these primarily reflect gradients in underlying coronary artery disease severity or in the clinical manifestation of advanced disease is ...

Heart rate and use of beta-blockers in stable outpatients with coronary artery disease [PDF]
, 2012 <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 ...

Association of RAGE gene polymorphisms with coronary artery disease in the Korean population
, 2007 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: AGEs (advanced glycation end products)-RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products) interaction in vessel wall may lead to inflammation, smooth muscle cell proliferation and extracellular matrix production, culminating ...
