Background: Therapeutic inertia, defined as the failure to initiate or intensify therapy in a timely manner as per evidence-based clinical guidelines, is an important barrier limiting optimal care in the elderly. Therefore, overcoming therapeutic inertia is the core challenge when dealing with geriatric patients. Case Description: The patient was a...

Metabolic syndrome is associated with hypercholesterolemia, cardiac remodeling, and increased susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias. Effects of diet-induced hypercholesterolemia on susceptibility to torsades de pointes arrhythmias (TdP) together with potential indicators of arrhythmic risk were investigated in three experimental groups of Carls...

ObjectiveWe evaluated swine and bovine pulmonary visceral pleura (PVP) in artery patch-angioplasty in swine model of high-fat diet. BackgroundArterial patch-angioplasty is frequently used for repair or reconstruction of arteries. An autologous patch is often limited by the number and dimension of donor tissue and can result in donor complications. ...

Introduction: Sitosterolemia is a rare condition in children and is often misdiagnosed as familial hypercholesterolemia. Serious complications can result if not treated promptly and effectively. When pediatric patients are diagnosed with sitosterolemia, vascular, and cardiac studies are important to evaluate for the presence of atherosclerosis. Few...

High-repetition-rate interferometric-Rayleigh-scattering (IRS) velocimetry is demonstrated for non-intrusive, high-speed flow-velocity measurements. High temporal resolution is obtained with a quasi-continuous burst-mode laser that is capable of operating at 10–100 kHz, providing 10-ms bursts with pulse widths of 5–1000 ns and pulse energy > 100 mJ...

Tempol abolishes the late phase of the diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A)‐induced increase in cortical blood perfusion (CBP) in normocholesterolemic rats and the early and late phases of the Ap4A‐induced increase in CBP in hypercholesterolemic rats. Tempol does not modify the Ap4A‐induced reduction of CBP in normocholesterolemic and hypercholesterol...

The reduction of circulating low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) is a primary target in cardiovascular risk reduction due to its well-established benefits in terms of decreased mortality. Despite the use of statin therapy, 10%-20% of high- and very-high-risk patients do not reach their LDL-C targets. There is an urgent need for improved str...

Vitamin D3 efficacy against cardiovascular disease prevention has been reported in many experimental studies. We aimed to investigate the effect of the calcitriol or active form of Vitamin D3 (1, 25(OH) 2D3) on serum cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) levels in a rabbit model of atherosclerosis. New Zealand white male rabbits were fed with 1...
