MMPs are involved in pathological processes such as hypertension, eclampsia, vascular inflammation, atherosclerosis, coronary syndromes and myocardial infarction, cerebral ischemia and ischemic stroke, peripheral arterial disease, aneurysms, chronic venous disease, etc. MMPs can be used as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for certain ...
With regard to ischaemic aetiology, HFmrEF more resembles HFrEF, but HFmrEF has a higher frequency of underlying coronary artery disease (CAD) and a better overall prognosis. Comorbidities While there are differences between the cellular and structural comorbidities of HFpEF and HFrEF, there are some similarities. ...
These include: Atrial fibrillation (Afib) Coronary artery disease Diabetes High blood pressure (hypertension) Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) Obesity Chronic kidney disease Amyloidosis or other infiltrative heart diseases What are the symptoms of diastolic heart failure? ...
Start-up Alucent Biomedical is using a light-activated molecule, delivered via a balloon catheter, to create a natural vascular scaffold in diseased peripheral vessels, with the aim of providing a long-lasting treatment option that maintains patency while leaving nothing behind in the vessel. Alucent Biomedical Inc. is rethinking peripheral artery ...
Patient History Patient presented with a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, peripheral arterial disease, obesity, arterial fibrillation, and transient ischemic attack. ...
Pathophysiology, treatment options and hot topics Improvements In Stemi Treatment The immediate and long-term prognosis of patients experiencing an ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has changed dramatically since the introduction of coronary reperfusion therapies during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). The evolution of these therapies accelerated with the ...
A cyclo-ergometer exercise test was performed on this 57-year old male patient. He is a smoker with a family background of CAD. He is suffering from left bundle branch block making ST-segment analysis impossible. The patient has achieved 78 % of max. heart rate at 120 watts. Moderate paleness and dyspnoea have been observed at the end of the 120 watts step. However, after a normal initial ...
By not taking care of your teeth there is more on the line than tooth decay and periodontal disease – although that’s bad enough. Practicing good oral hygiene may be lifesaving according to a number of research studies.Studies show a connection between Gum disease and a 63% HIgher Pancreatic Cancer in Men The link between several systemic illnesses ...
Dental Problems Linked To Heart Disease and Diabetes Over the last ten years there has been a growing body of evidence linking periodontal disease and systemic diseases. ...
Before a patient can get fit with their multi-articulating myoelectric hand, it’s vital that their prosthetist conducts a thorough evaluation and understands the cause of amputation or limb loss. This information helps prosthetists understand what a patient’s needs are so they can determine which prosthetic hand is the best fit for them. With this in mind, we’ll discuss the ...
The experience of these xenogenic conduits is almost entirely in the realm of elective or semielective chronic vascular disease conditions, and there are no reports of their use in the acute management of wartime vascular injury. ...
We report a first-in-man clinical experience using the HAV for arterial reconstruction in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease. ...
ABILITY Diabetes Global (Randomized Comparison of Abluminus DES+ Sirolimus-Eluting Stents versus Everolimus-Eluting Stents in Coronary Artery Disease Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Global) started off with the index patient enrolment on 11th June 2020 in Italy (at the peak of the 1st wave of COVID-19 pandemic) by P.I. ...
Most of these amputations are performed for the treatment of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers that resulted from PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease). These non-healing foot ulcers are caused by high blood glucose levels, which accelerate the direct damage to the nerves and blood vessels in the body, specifically the limbs. ...
Individuals with chronic wounds (diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, arterial ulcers, etc.) commonly have other chronic conditions – typically type 2 diabetes, hypertension, venous insufficiency, peripheral arterial disease, and/or chronic kidney disease. ...
Heart Attack A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, typically because of a blood clot or plaque that built up in the arteries over time. Your heart muscle needs oxygen in order to function properly, so when blood flow is blocked, the heart muscle begins to die because of lack of oxygen. ...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) cause 17 million deaths globally every year, making it the leading cause of death around the world. ...
Vesper Medical will further expand Philips’ portfolio of diagnostic and therapeutic devices with an advanced venous stent portfolio for the treatment of deep venous disease. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022. ...
As the most advanced stage of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is associated with a high risk of lower-limb loss and mortality. ...
However, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) or chronic kidney disease (CKD), we frequently observe the presence of small artery disease (SAD), spreading into the below-the-ankle arteries.2 CLTI patients can present BAD, SAD, or a combination of both entities. ...
