Thickness of carotid artery intima is an independent risk factor for psoriasis
(2020-05-09)
Psoriasis (PsO) has been associated with lipoprotein abnormalities, visceral adiposity, atherosclerosis, and coronary artery disease (CAD) in several studies; however, data concerning the risk of psoriasis relevant to these ...
An update on the relationships between rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis
(2010-04-04)
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Cardiovascular events are the most important
cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Beyond the traditional cardiovascular
risk ...
Visfatin and insulin levels and cigarette smoking are independent risk factors for hidradenitis suppurativa: a case-control study
(Springer, 2018)
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. HS has been associated with obesity, adipokine imbalance, dyslipidemia, pro-inflammation, and metabolic syndrome (MS). The aim of this study was to ...
Evaluation of the impact of treatment on endothelial function and cardiac performance in acromegaly
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
Objective: To evaluate the effects of treatment on left ventricular (LV) performance and endothelial function in patients with acromegaly. Method: Nineteen patients with active acromegaly (AA), 18 patients with ...
Plasma glycated albumin levels clearly detect hearing loss and atherosclerosis in patients with impaired fasting glucose
(Karger, 2016)
Objective: To describe the relationship between atherosclerosis and hearing thresholds in prediabetic patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and to determine the efficacy of glycated albumin in predicting carotid ...
Epicardial adipose tissue thickness is an independent predictor of critical and complex coronary artery disease by gensini and SYNTAX scores
(Texas Heart Institute, 2016)
Epicardial adipose tissue thickness is associated with the severity and extent of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. We prospectively investigated whether epicardial adipose tissue thickness is related to coronary ...
Hsa-miR-584-5p as a novel candidate biomarker in Turkish men with severe coronary artery disease
(Reidel, 2020)
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is still the preliminary cause of mortality and morbidity in the developed world. Identification of novel predictive and therapeutic biomarkers is crucial for accurate diagnosis, prognosis and ...
Nutritional status and severity of coronary artery disease
(2020)
Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the
association between Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), a simple
tool to assess nutritional status, and coronary artery
disease severity and complexity in patients ...
Evaluation of epicardial adipose tissue and carotid intima-media thickness as a marker of atherosclerosis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
(2020)
Background and aim: this study aimed to compare carotid
intima media (CIMT) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT)
measurements, which are considered as markers for the
detection of early atherosclerosis in healthy ...
