Does exercise-induced myocardial ischaemia cause enhanced platelet activation and fibrin formation in patients with stable angina and severe coronary artery disease? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this study, betathromboglobulin (BTG) and fibrinopeptide A (FPA) in peripheral venous blood were measured in 20 patients with stable angina pectoris before and immediately after exercise-induced myocardial ischaemia; in 5 of the 20 patients stable ...

Endothelial function assessment in atherosclerosis: Comparison of brachial artery flow‑mediated vasodilation and peripheral arterial tonometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
INTRODUCTION Endothelial dysfunction, characterized by the loss of nitric oxide bioavailability, is a key element in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and an important prognostic factor in cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the development of reliable,

Common carotid intima media thickness and ankle-brachial pressure index correlate with local but not global atheroma burden:a cross sectional study using whole body magnetic resonance angiography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Common carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) are used as surrogate marker of atherosclerosis, and have been shown to correlate with arterial stiffness, however their correlation with global atherosclerotic burden ...

Inflammation in Peripheral Artery Disease [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 2010
Peripheral artery disease (PAD), which consists of partial or complete obstruction of the arteries in the lower limbs, is one of the most common manifestations of atherosclerosis, affecting ≈27 million individuals in Europe and North America.1 Its main symptomatic expression, intermittent claudication, was first described by the French veterinarian ...
