  1. 1. Aspects on wall properties of the brachial artery in man : with special reference to SLE and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

    Författare :Niclas Bjarnegård; Toste Länne; Reinhard Volkmann; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arterial wall; atherosclerotic; brachial artery BA ; type 1 diabetes; ulse wave velocity PWV ; pulse wave analysis PWA ; intima-media thickness IMT ; nitrate mediated dilatation NMD ; Diabetology; Diabetologi;

    Sammanfattning : The mechanical properties of the arterial wall are of great importance for blood pressure regulation and cardiac load. With increasing age, large arteries are affected by increased wall stiffness. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Atherosclerotic Plaque Stability and Vascular Repair

    Författare :Anki Knutsson; Kärlväggsbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :atherosclerosis; diabetes; repair; inflammation; extracellular matrix;

    Sammanfattning : Myocardial infarction and stroke are two of the most common causes of death in the world, mainly caused by a rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque. A vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is a high-risk plaque that can form a thrombus by rupture. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Ultrasound Image Analysis for Automated Classification of Atherosclerotic Plaque in the Human Carotid Artery

    Författare :Peter Holdfeldt; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; classification; dynamic programming; carotid artery; Java program; image segmentation; ultrasound images; intima-media thickness; atherosclerotic plaque;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular diseases, caused by atherosclerosis, is one of the most common causes of death in the industrialized world. Two risk factors, that both can be assessed with ultrasound, are the Intima-Media Thickness (IMT) in the arterial wall and the composition of the atherosclerotic plaque. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Immune mechanisms in atherosclerotic vascular disease

    Författare :Jasmina Cvetkovic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Atherosclerosis; rheumatoid arthritis; stroke; autoantibodies; pro-inflammatory cytokines;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis has been categorized as an inflammatory disorder, with similar chronic inflammatory conditions found in rheumatoid arthritis. It entails an unregulated accumulation of lipids in the vessel wall, which leads to the development of cardiovascular diseases. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in rheumatoid arthritis : aspects of pathogenesis and risk

    Författare :Bengt Wahlin; Solveig Wållberg-Jonsson; Anna Södergren; Anders Bengtsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; inflammation; atherosclerosis; cardiovascular disease; risk estimation; cytomegalovirus; T-cells; bone turnover; osteoprotegerin; osteocalcin; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have an increased prevalence and severity of atherosclerosis, and a corresponding increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms causing this are not well elucidated, but both traditional cardiovascular risk factors and RA-associated factors have been associated with atherosclerosis and increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients with RA.
