Atherosclerosis across 4000 years of human history: The Horus study of four ancient populations
(Elsevier, 2013)
Atherosclerosis is thought to be a disease of modern human beings and related to contemporary lifestyles. However, its prevalence before the modern era is unknown. We aimed to evaluate preindustrial populations for ...
Coronary microvascular dysfunction in women with nonobstructive ischemic heart disease as assessed by positron emission tomography
(AME Publishing Company, 2017-03)
Traditional approaches for risk assessment of ischemic heart disease (IHD) are based on the physiological consequences of an epicardial coronary stenosis. Of note, normal coronary arteries or nonobstructive coronary artery ...
Metalloproteinase 2 and 9 Activity Increase in Epicardial Adipose Tissue of Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2017-01)
Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a visceral adipose tissue (AT) surrounding and infiltrating myocardium and coronary arteries. Increased EAT may represent a chronic inflammatory injury and a link with coronary ...
Coronary atherosclerosis in indigenous South American Tsimane: a cross-sectional cohort study
(Elsevier, 2017)
BACKGROUND: Conventional coronary artery disease risk factors might potentially explain at least 90% of the attributable risk of coronary artery disease. To better understand the association between the pre-industrial ...
Coronary artery disease in patients with severe aortic stenosisEnfermedad coronaria en pacientes con estenosis aórtica severa
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina Humana, 2011)
Association between three-dimensional vessel geometry and the presence of atherosclerotic plaques in the left anterior descending coronary artery of high-risk patients
(Elsevier, 2017-01)
Geometrical risk factors for coronary atherosclerosis were proposed in the eighties as a complement to fluid dynamic and biomechanical mechanisms for atherosclerotic genesis and progression. Up to date there are no conclusive ...
Thermodynamic analogies for the characterization of 3D human coronary arteries
(Elsevier, 2018-02)
The thermodynamics of three-dimensional curves is explored through numerical simulations, providing room for a broader range of applications. Such approach, which makes use of elements of information theory, enables the ...
Genetic contributors to serum uric acid levels in Mexicans and their effect on premature coronary artery disease
(Elsevier, 2018)
BACKGROUND: Serum uric acid (SUA) is a heritable trait associated with cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery disease (CAD). Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several genes associated with ...
Physical exercise programs in people with coronary artery diseaseProgramas de ejercicio físico en personas con enfermedad de las arterias coronarias
