Exercise and Coronary Atherosclerosis: Observations, Explanations, Relevance, and Clinical Management. [PDF]
Circulation, 2020 Physical activity and exercise training are effective strategies for reducing the risk of cardiovascular events, but multiple studies have reported an increased prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis, usually measured as coronary artery calcification ...

Circulating miRNAs Are Associated with the Systemic Extent of Atherosclerosis: Novel Observations for miR-27b and miR-146 [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2021 The mechanisms that regulate the systemic extent of atherosclerosis are not fully understood. We investigated whether the expression of circulating miRNAs is associated with the extent of stable atherosclerosis to a single territory or multiple ...

Progression of coronary atherosclerosis. [PDF]
Circulation, 1981 Two hundred sixty-two patients with 50% or greater obstruction of at least one coronary artery on the initial study underwent recatheterization 2-182 months later and were evaluated for progressive arterial changes. Progression was considered present if (1) a change from less than total obstruction to total obstruction occurred in any vessel; (2) a ...

Replication of putative susceptibility loci from genome-wide association studies associated with coronary atherosclerosis in Chinese Han population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Coronary atherosclerosis, the main cause of cardiovascular disease, is a progressive disease. Recent Genome Wide Association Studies (GWASs) discovered several novel loci associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) or its main complication ...

Pathology of coronary atherosclerosis and thrombosis. [PDF]
Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy, 2016 The process of early atherosclerotic plaque progression is characterized by the development of pathologic intimal thickening (PIT) with lipid pool that may transform into the necrotic core to form fibroatheroma, where infiltration of foamy macrophages ...
