  • Paediatric patients with severe dyslipidaemia mostly suffered from nephrotic syndrome.CONCLUSION:A significant burden and a high prevalence of dyslipidaemias were present in adults in whom a monogenic disorder should be considered. (bvsalud.org)
Dietary4
  • Dietary sources (animal-derived foods) also contain cholesterol. (medicinenet.com)
  • Dietary intake of nutrients critical for bone health, including vitamin D, is reported to be insufficient in T2DM patients on antidiabetics. (dsm.com)
  • This message was lost in the dietary cholesterol discussion as seen by news headlines and fellow clinicians' anecdotes. (cdc.gov)
  • If bilberry and/or oat, in addition to standard medical therapy, can lower LDL cholesterol and inflammation more than standard therapy alone, this could be a cost-effective and safe dietary strategy for secondary prevention after AMI. (lu.se)
Methods1
  • Methods: The current study included totally 576 patients with ICM. (bvsalud.org)
Lipoproteins1
Reduces1
  • Retention of cholesterol results in increased cholesterol content of membranes that reduces their fluidity and impairs the function of integral membrane proteins. (medscape.com)
Incidence3
  • In addition, there was no significant difference in the incidence of major adverse cardiac events when comparing both the TID-positive patients and the TID-negative control cohort and when comparing patients who were TID-positive with normal perfusion with patients who were TID-negative with normal perfusion. (snmjournals.org)
  • Thrombosis, including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), has been observed at an increased incidence in patients treated with Olumiant compared to placebo. (nationaleczema.org)
  • BACKGROUND: During recent years, the incidence of serious infections caused by opportunistic fungi has increased dramatically due to alterations of the immune status of patients with hematological diseases, malignant tumors, transplantations and so forth. (who.int)
Vascular2
  • The program helps promote health and wellness for patients with cardiac and vascular disease while they are in hospital, during their recovery and throughout their lives. (clevelandclinic.org)
  • Patients can complete echocardiograms and vascular studies in our office. (novanthealth.org)
Lower cholesterol1
Inflammation2
  • Thus the findings presented today cannot determine whether lowering cholesterol, reducing inflammation, or a combination of both is responsible for the effects seen in this paper. (medicaleconomics.com)
  • Discussion: Controlling hyperlipidemia and inflammation is critical to preventing new cardiovascular events, but novel pharmacological treatments for these conditions are expensive and associated with negative side effects. (lu.se)
Peripheral1
  • All patients, except those with peripheral pulmonic stenosis, require subacute bacterial endocarditis prophylaxis. (medscape.com)
Myocardial2
  • Up to a fifth of patients who had had acute myocardial ischaemia were not taking aspirin at follow up. (bmj.com)
  • ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to provide an overview of the risk factors for acute myocardial infarction in patients attending Tripoli Medical Centre, Libya. (who.int)
Enzyme1
  • This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, which is an early and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. (globalrph.com)
Risk factors3
  • To better understand the demographics of NAFLD and risk factors for advanced disease, this study analysed 827 patients with NAFLD at two geographically separate tertiary medical centres. (bmj.com)
  • Two or more other CVD risk factors are present in the adolescent patient. (globalrph.com)
  • In other words, whether your cholesterol is too high for you depends on your other risk factors. (cdc.gov)
Serum2
  • The plasma and serum were sepa- and VTE in hospitalized patients, consider- rated within one hour of venepuncture and ing the possible genetic differences be- frozen and stored at -20 °C until time of tween the general population of the Islamic analysis. (who.int)
  • 14] reported that women with a higher serum cholesterol level had an increased risk of ovarian cancer. (researchsquare.com)
