Objective: Assessing subclinical atherosclerosis (sAT) is crucial for preventing cardiovascular disease. The Mediterranean diet is considered the gold standard for cardiovascular protection, but cultural and economic bar...

Cardiovascular disease is common in patients with chronic kidney disease. Atherosclerosis has a very important role in pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Tumor Necrosis factor- Like Weak Inducer of Apoptosis (TWEAK...

Background and aim: Angina pectoris is a clinical syndrome usually characterized by episodes or paroxysms of pain or pressure in the anterior chest. The cause is insufficient coronary blood flow, resulting in a decreased...

OBJECTIVE: The most frequent reason of increased cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is atherosclerosis. In our study, carotid intima media thickness (CIMT), an indirect indicator of atheros...

Abstract Background Iron overload promotes atherosclerosis in mice and causes vascular dysfunction in humans with Hemochromatosis. However, data are controversial on whether systemic iron availability within physiologica...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to show the impacts of peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis replacement therapies on insulin resistance which can provide important contribution to the risk for development of atherosclerosis and card...

Aortic diseases (aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection, atherosclerosis) represent a substantial clinical and economic burden due to the lack of effective early diagnostic tools and mechanism-based therapies. Metabolomics, ...

OBJECTIVE: Most deaths in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are attributable to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The relationship between serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and CVD has been investig...

OBJECTIVE: Measurement of carotid artery intima-media thickness (CA-IMT) is directly associated with cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. We retrospectively investigated the impact of CA-IMT progression on new CV events in pati...

Magnesium is one of the 11 most abundant elements in the human body and it is required for the action of over 300 enzymes. It is the most common intracellular, bivalent cation. It is located in quite important structures...

OBJECTIVE: Red-cell distribution width (RDW) is a parameter routinely used for diagnosis of different anemia types. Recent studies have shown the RDW relationship with mortality in general population and patients with ca...

Cholesterol Embolization Syndrome (CES) is a systemic disorder due to cholesterol crystal embolization from atherosclerotic plaques of the aorta and its major branches to the small arterioles, resulting in local ischemia...

Abstract As an important and beneficial gut commensal, Akkermansia muciniphila plays a crucial role in regulating host metabolism and immunity. Lipooligosaccharides from A. muciniphila (ALOS) show anti-obesity effects in...

Disorders of the vessels, that cause organ demage in Essential Hypertension (HT), may returned at early stage. In this study, vascular disorders were evaluated in 225 HT patients with a mean age of 48.1±8.6 (%77.3 of th...

Oropharyngeal infection has long been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), specifically valvular disease and endocarditis. However, the relationship between periodontal disease (PD), with associated infection an...

Hypercholesterolemia is a cardinal driver of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), one of the major global mortality causes. Associated oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation perturbes HDL-associated paraoxona...

Abstract Current treatment for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) mainly focuses on the modification of systemic risk factors, such as hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. Despite significant efforts and expans...

In this study; the plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), low-density lipoprotein phospholipid (LDL-P), highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), high...

OBJECTIVE: Venous pressure monitor is one of the monitors in hemodialysis equipment reflecting the difference of pressure between the dializer and venous needle. Pressure is generally between +50 and +150 mmHg. In our st...

It is commonly known that atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CAD) are associated with hyperlipidemia, which is brought on by abnormalities in the transportation, production, or catabolism of cholesterol. Hence, ...

OBJECTIVE: Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in patients with endstage renal disease. Asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) is increased in conditions associated with increased risk of atheroscler...

ABSTRACT Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the association between adherence to the DASH diet and the risk of depression and anxiety severity in a large group of Iranian adults. Design: In this cross-s...

Background: Fetuin-A is a negative acute-phase reactant which prevents vascular calcification. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most important cause of mortality in patients undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT)...

ABSTRACT Background Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) face premature atherosclerosis, but standard carotid intima‐media thickness (IMT) may lack sensitivity for the earliest vascular injuries. Since urinary albumi...
