The pre-op examination involved taking patient history (including the information about prior venous surgeries), identifying varicose veins (VV's) clinical symptoms/signs, duplex ultrasound (US) evaluation of the lower extremities, clinical-etiological and anatomical-pathophysiological assessment
Benefits and importance of CoQ10 for the human health:
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an endogenously produced lipid-soluble molecule of the human organism that is considered an essential component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain where it is the electron acceptor for complexes I and II. In
Background and rationale The vast majority of the research involving dietary nitrate supplementation, namely beetroot juice, has been performed mostly on samples of healthy populations. A few clinical populations have been studied, including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, chronic
Heart failure (HF) is epidemic with aging and prevalence of HF is steadily increasing as the population of older adults expands. Despite the fact that age always stands out as a leading risk factor for HF incidence as well as for poor HF prognosis, few HF trials focus specifically on aging
Introduction The cardiac rehabilitation optimizes a cardiac patient's physical, psychological, and social functioning, in addition to stabilizing, slowing, or even reversing the progression of the underlying atherosclerotic processes, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality. Patients who recently
Patients at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are often prescribed statins, which are medications that reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood. By lowering cholesterol levels, these patients have a lower incidence of coronary artery disease, ischemic stroke, and peripheral arterial disease
Individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are often prescribed statins, which are medications that reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood. By lowering cholesterol levels, these individuals have a lower incidence of coronary artery disease, ischemic stroke, and peripheral arterial
Five randomized, controlled trials failed to demonstrate any benefit of a stainless-steel stent over angioplasty alone. The nitinol stent has proven superior primary patency than balloon angioplasty in superficial femoral artery (SFA) lesions. Several studies reported stent fractures were associated
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that impacts approximately 1% of all Canadians. RA is associated with increased mortality, decreased life expectancy and increased morbidity, which is primarily attributable to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Traditional
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis and a strong predictor of cardiovascular (CV) mortality. The systemic disease of atherosclerosis in these patients results in arterial stenoses in the arteries supplying the muscles of the lower extremities. During
Recent work in humans suggests that increasing nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability may induce physiological changes beyond the well known hemodynamic effects (Dejam, Hunter et al. 2004; Webb, Patel et al. 2008). NO plays a key role in the regulation of blood flow, muscle contractility, myocyte
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a narrowing of the blood vessels that supply the leg with blood. It is caused by atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
Muscles require oxygen carried by the blood. When the leg muscles do not get enough blood and oxygen, this can cause pain, cramping,
