| The early lesions of calcific degenerative disease resemble atheroma of the coronary artery. |
|
| Cholesterol embolisation occurs in patients with generalised atheroma, arising as a consequence of arteriosclerosis. |
|
| Ultrasound devices provide reliable measurements of lumen size, distensibility, wall thickness, and the presence of atheroma in large arteries. |
|
| Angina happens when the coronary arteries get blocked up with small pieces of fatty material called atheroma. |
|
| If the ultrasound shows stenosis or atheroma, the patient should understand the risks and benefits of the procedure. |
|
| During the warmer seasons, there was a decline in the number of strokes resulting from atheroma. |
|
| The condition sees arteries become clogged up by fatty substances called plaques or atheroma. |
|
| As the lesion grows, a fibrous cap made of collagen and elastin walls off the lesion from the lumen of the artery to protect the arterial lumen from the atheroma. |
|
| Tobacco addiction is one of the main causes for the appearance and aggravation of an atheroma, leading to an infarction and the risk of death. |
|
| The aorta showed severe complicated atheroma throughout its length. |
|
| The antioxidants prevent cholesterol from oxidizing and thus limit the plate of atheroma. |
|
| High blood pressure accelerates atheroma – the build-up of furry deposits in the arteries that causes strokes and heart attacks. |
|
| But placing a catheter next to an atheroma yields a wealth of data on structure and function. |
|
| In his 20-page determination, Sheriff Richard Scott ruled the cause of death was coronary artery atheroma which could have occurred at any time. |
|
| Previously, these lesions have been attributed to sebaceous cysts, calcified steatocystoma, fibroma, atheroma and xanthoma. |
|
| A large number of experiments are being conducted for chemical prophylaxis of cancer, and several therapies now widely used aim at preventing atheroma and its complications in high risk individuals. |
|
| Other cytokines are also released into the circulation adding to the inflammatory process which is now understood to be an underlying cause of atheroma. |
|
| With disruption of this balance, mediated by a combination of inflammatory and traditional cardiovascular risk factors, the vasculature becomes susceptible to atheroma formation. |
|
| For example, the supplements of vitamins C and E slow down in a very important way the progression of the plate of atheroma among coronary patients. |
|
| Heart attacks and atheroma In public health terms, diseases of the vascular wall and their consequences are the leading cause of death in developed countries. |
|
|
|
| This process is known as atherosclerosis, and the fatty deposits are called atheroma. |
|
| Embolic particles, which may include thrombus, atheroma and lipids, may become dislodged by surgical or catheter manipulations and enter the bloodstream. |
|
| This relationship between adiponectin and small dense LDL moieties may prove to be an important link in understanding the risk for patients to develop lipid laden atheroma. |
|
| The biochemical markers to be tested at PBI will be used by the Sponsor to evaluate their correlation with imaging assessments of atheroma volume and composition. |
|
| Atheroma is a discrete plaque containing lipid deposits that arises in the intima of an artery and has a predilection for areas of tortuosity and turbulence of blood flow. |
