The association between plasma endotoxin, endotoxin pathway proteins and outcome after ischemic stroke.

Published in Atherosclerosis

In ischemic stroke patients, higher levels of plasma sCD14 and LBP are associated with increased risk of death, whereas, elevated LPS activity and higher levels of LBP and CD14 are associated with post-stroke delirium.

Coronary microvascular dysfunction may be related to IGF-1 in acromegalic patients and can be restored by therapy.

Published in Atherosclerosis

Acromegalic patients have coronary microvascular dysfunction that may be restored by therapy with somatostatin analogues. IGF-1 independently correlates with the coronary microvascular impairment, suggesting the pivotal role of this hormone in explaining the increased cardiovascular risk in acromegaly.

Toe-brachial index and exercise test can improve the exploration of peripheral artery disease.

Published in Atherosclerosis

Pre- and post-exercise non-invasive vascular tests could reveal severe limb ischemia. Toe pressure measurement and TBI should become a basic part of the vascular workup.

Comparison of cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic hepatitis B and C: A 13-year nati...

Published in Atherosclerosis

In patients with chronic viral hepatitis, subjects with HCV infection had a significantly higher risk of composite arterial events and all-cause mortality compared with those with HBV infection.

High neutrophil to lymphocyte ratios predict intracranial atherosclerosis in a healthy population.

Published in Atherosclerosis

A high NLR was associated with both prevalence and burdens of ICAS in a healthy population.

Stroke outcome is associated with baseline renal function: A risk factor that matters!

Association of lifelong occupation and educational level with subclinical atherosclerosis in different European regions....

Published in Atherosclerosis

Low SES was associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in subjects with at least three CV risk factors. Such association was stronger in Northern and Western Europe than in Italy. This difference was not completely explained by inequalities in CV risk factors and behavioural variables.

PCSK9 inhibition alters the lipidome of plasma and lipoprotein fractions.

Published in Atherosclerosis

Administration of PCSK9 antibody significantly alters the lipid composition of plasma and lipoprotein particles. These changes further shed light on the link between anti-PCSK9 therapies and cardiovascular risk.

Different effects of apnea during rapid eye movement period on peripheral arterial stiffness in obstructive sleep apnea....

Published in Atherosclerosis

AHI-REM was independently correlated with a peripheral arterial stiffness index, CI. AHI-REM may be a suitable surrogate marker for predicting peripheral arterial stiffness in OSA patients.

Environment-wide association study to identify novel factors associated with peripheral arterial disease: Evidence from ...

Published in Atherosclerosis

Our systematic evaluation provides new knowledge on the complex array of environmental correlates of PAD. These identified correlates need to be probed in further observational and interventional studies.
