Purified polyphenols extracted by table grape can decrease cell proliferation in vitro and exert anti-atherosclerotic and antithrombotic activities, regulating endothelial function. Literature studies have already evaluated the cytostatic and apoptotic effects produced by table grape extracts from
Ischemic heart disease is the leading contributor to the worldwide burden of disease, as assessed on the basis of disability-adjusted life-years.
ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is associated with a coronary occlusive thrombosis in 90% of patients, non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Current therapy for in-stent restenosis (ISR) is based on the drug-eluting stents (DES) or drug-eluting balloon catheters (DEB). In clinical practice, paclitaxel is used as an effective antiproliferative agent loaded into DEB (paclitaxel-eluting balloon catheters; PEB).
In contrast to paclitaxel,
Ischemic stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Immediate treatment can play a major role in the outcome of ischemic stroke and can help improve prognosis in many cases. One of the factors effecting immediate treatment is a
Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the major cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the arteries in which activated macrophages are abundant in the atherosclerotic lesions. Macrophages play key roles during early atherogenesis.
The overall objective is to determine whether the predictive value of plasma concentrations of selected nutrient biomarker(s) of food intake determined using a single plasma sample either alone or in combination are stronger, objective predictors of subsequent death from CHD or MI compared to
Background: Injection of ultrasound contrast agents, in conjunction with contrast specific imaging techniques, is increasingly accepted in clinical use for diagnostic ultrasound imaging. As microbubbles contrast agents appear to be ideal pure intravascular tracers to enhance the vascular lumen and
Clinical status will be evaluated during hospitalization, and then on the out-patient basis. All cardiovascular events (fatal or nonfatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina, sudden cardiac death, all-cause death, stroke, TIA) will be recorded and the patients who underwent acute PCI will have a
Clinical investigations have shown that lowering the "total serum cholesterol" levels result in a significant reduction of coronary artery disease and myocardial infarctions . Thus, interventions to lower the "total serum cholesterol" are commonly employed by medical professionals - this includes
A. Randomized trial in 40 cardiac surgery patients Early rapid infusion of fish oil (3 times in 24 hours) in cardiac surgery patients.
B. Randomized trial 20 myocardial infarction patients (abandonned) Continuous infusion of the same dose over 24hrs in the myocardial infarction patients
Additional
Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death in North America (1). Uncontrolled platelet activation, adhesion and aggregation initiated by vessel wall plaque rupture are thought to be responsible for acute vascular occlusion in many situations (2-5). Although many platelet inhibition
The stroke or brain attack is one of the main health problems in developed countries. It is the third cause for death and the main cause of disability in adults. Cerebral infarction makes up 80 % of all the types of strokes.
After a stroke, different evolutions and outcomes can be observed, and
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the need to achieve increasingly ambitious therapeutic goals for dyslipidemias has prompted the search for more potent pharmacological agents to lower circulating atherogenic lipoprotein concentrations and enhance reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). While
