Homocysteine and coronary atherosclerosis
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1996 Homocysteine is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for coronary artery disease. An understanding of its metabolism and of the importance of vitamins B6 and B12 and folate as well as enzyme levels in its regulation will aid the development of therapeutic strategies that, by lowering circulating concentrations, may also lower risk.

Biologics May Prevent Cardiovascular Events in Rheumatoid Arthritis by Inhibiting Coronary Plaque Formation and Stabilizing High-Risk Lesions. [PDF]
, 2020 ObjectiveTo evaluate whether biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) decrease cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and whether biologic DMARDs might have a beneficial effect on coronary plaque formation or ...

Association Between APOL1 Genotypes and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis). [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND:APOL1 genetic variants confer an increased risk for kidney disease. Their associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are less certain. We aimed to compare the prevalence of subclinical CVD and incidence of atherosclerotic CVD and heart ...

A prospective natural-history study of coronary atherosclerosis.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2011 BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic plaques that lead to acute coronary syndromes often occur at sites of angiographically mild coronary-artery stenosis. Lesion-related risk factors for such events are poorly understood.

Inflammation, atherosclerosis, and coronary artery disease.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2005 ecent research has shown that inflammation plays a key role in coronary artery disease (CAD) and other manifestations of atherosclerosis. Immune cells dominate early atherosclerotic lesions, their effector molecules accelerate progression of the lesions,

Association between adiposity and systemic atherosclerosis: a protocol of a cross-sectional autopsy study. [PDF]
, 2016 IntroductionAdiposity has been associated with atherosclerosis in clinical studies. However, few autopsy studies have investigated this association, and they had only examined the coronary artery disease. Moreover, most studies had small sample sizes and

Infectious agents in coronary atherosclerosis [PDF]
Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 1999 In 1908, Sir William Osler was the first to suggest that infection might play a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis . Even though this view was not widely accepted originally, a renewed interest currently abounds regarding the contribution of infection to the pathogenesis and progression of ischemic heart disease.
