Smoking is one of the most important risk factors of atherosclerosis and ischaemic heart disease. Endothelial dysfunction is a pathological result of smoking. The aim of the study was to examine the influence of cigarette smoking on biochemical parameters of endothelial function in persons with

The most severely nicotine-dependent patients who have tried traditional treatment programs without success may require maximal intervention to achieve abstinence. In the Clinical Research Center at the Mayo Clinic, we assessed the feasibility of an inpatient treatment program for 24 such subjects,

Chemical microanalyses of conventional human coronary artery plaques (stages I-III [WHO]) revealed the correlation between progressive mural Ca overload up to excessive degrees, and the severity of plaque formation, whereas only small amounts of cholesterol were found, even in complicated lesions.

The arteries of the thigh of 126 male marathon runners at the age of 41.6 +/- 11.3 years were examined with B-Scan-ultrasound. 32 (62.1%) persons were found with arteriosclerotical plaques. All of them were older than 35 years, so the number of arteriosclerosis in this group increases to 36.4

OBJECTIVE The European Arteriosclerosis Study (EARS) was designed to identify variables which discriminate subjects with a paternal history of premature coronary heart disease (CHD) from controls and to study the distribution of these variables across Europe. In this article we report on the blood

Using specific calcium antagonists as experimental tools, both the physiological messenger and current carrying function of calcium ions as well as their pathogenetic potencies could be elucidated. Notably, excess intracellular calcium signalling and intra- and extracellular calcium overload turned
