  • They were screened for high blood pressure and associated cardiovascular risk factors by an interview questionnaire. (who.int)
  • Measuring circulating proteins with presumed roles in cardiovascular pathology by targeted proteomics is a promising approach for biomarker discovery [ 15 ]. (springer.com)
  • Involvement of the FBLN4 gene in cardiovascular pathology was shown in a murine model and in three patients affected with cutis laxa in association with systemic involvement. (uzh.ch)
  • Methods Circulating (n = 179) and hepatic expression (n = 95) of ghrelin and LEAP-2 were measured in patients with severe obesity and available liver pathology analysis undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). (unav.edu)
  • Many studies in MSA patients have already depicted cardiovascular autonomic impairments with a reduction in sympathetic and parasympathetic activities ( 6 - 9 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • The model inputs were taken from the COMPASS study (ie, the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban plus aspirin vs aspirin), Optum Integrated Database (ie, the prevalence of chronic CAD and/or PAD, incidence rates, and healthcare costs of MACE, MALE, and major bleeding), and the RED BOOK (ie, wholesale drug acquisition costs).

  • Hospital - at risk of cardiovascular complications? (who.int)
  • Poor glycaemic control, dyslipidaemia and HT are common in diabetic children, putting them at risk of cardiovascular complications in adulthood. (who.int)
  • The in vivo neointimal hyperplasia model was established 2 weeks after the carotid artery balloon injury in SHR rats. (hindawi.com)
  • We have used human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC) to study the combined effects of a model air pollutant, diesel exhaust particles (DEP), and oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl- sn -glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (ox-PAPC) on genome-wide gene expression. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Although the mechanism of cardiovascular injury by PM is poorly understood, it has been shown that the particles are coated by a number of chemical compounds, including organic hydrocarbons (for example, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and quinones), transition metals, sulfates and nitrates.
