Coronary heart disease angina pectoris is a kind of heart disease caused by myocardial ischemia and anoxia caused by coronary atherosclerosis. It belongs to the category of "chest obstruction" and "heartache" in traditional Chinese medicine. One of its common pathogenesis is stagnation of Qi and
Cardiovascular disease, which is multifactorial and caused by complex interactions of genetic and environmental factors, represents the main cause of death all over the world. Traditional risk factors for coronary atherosclerosis include age, smoking, male gender, hypertension and diabetes. Newly
The dogma over the past 3 decades, particularly in the field of sleep medicine, has been that intermittent hypoxia (IH) is a detrimental stimulus that leads to a number of co‐morbidities including autonomic (e.g. increased sympathetic nervous system activity), cardiovascular (e.g. hypertension,
Our previous studies indicate that epicardial fat, the visceral fat depot of the heart, plays a role in modulating the heart morphology and its function (Iacobellis et al 2005). Notably, no muscle fascia divides the epicardial fat and the myocardium and the two tissues share the same

The Premise of the study:
Hyperbaric Oxygen as adjunctive therapy is effective towards the healing of diabetic lower extremity ulcers and has a role to play in major amputation prevention for persons with Diabetes Mellitus.
Title of the project:
Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen
According to the National Institute of Health, one in every twenty Americans over the age of 50 years old suffers from peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis and is specifically characterized by atherosclerotic blockages of the arteries in the legs. This
Background: In 1894 William Osler, MD, said: "You are as old as your arteries." A number of recent studies have confirmed this prescient proclamation. Vascular rather than chronological age is the best predictor of adverse cardiovascular events and mortality from coronary insufficiency, ischemia,
Syndecan-1, Heparan sulfate serve as biomarkers of glycocalyx degradation. Both biomarkers will be measured 2 times, before the anesthetic induction, and immediately after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass, during the valvular heart surgery.
Postoperative acute kidney injury up to postoperative 48
Hookah (water pipe) smoking is a new global epidemic. The World Health Organization wants to prohibit all claims that hookah is less harmful than cigarettes and wants hookah products to bear the same warning labels as cigarettes. But there is little scientific evidence to substantiate this proposal.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an endogenously produced gas that play important physiological roles in the circulation. Traditionally considered a poisonous gas that causes tissue hypoxia, CO produced by vascular cells as a byproduct of heme catabolism, also functions to regulate blood flow by inhibiting
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often suffered from hearing impairment, vertigo/dizziness, cognitive degeneration, cardiovascular diseases. In addition, compared to patients without CKD, the longevity of patients with CKD was also shorter. The mechanism underlying the complications of CKD
This is an interventional study of PAD patients that exhibit claudication. The purpose of this study is to determine the potential mechanisms by which Ramipril vastly improves the walking performance of these patients. The study will be achieved through these specific aims:
Specific Aim #1: Test the
1.0 Background and Clinical Significance 1.1 Introduction The incidence of Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (DM2) is growing rapidly globally and in Singapore. The main cause of increased morbidity and mortality in patients with DM2 is the development of microvascular and macrovascular complications.
