Atherosclerotic

By crossbreeding them with other gene-targeted mice, it has been possible to deduce the importance of genes regulating inflammation, lipid metabolism, blood pressure and other factors proposed to be involved in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease [64]. ❋ Unknown (2007)

This disturbance in their cholesterol levels put them at higher risk for vascular disease, including stroke, by increasing their risk for developing lesions in their blood vessels called atherosclerotic plaques. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The buildup of cholesterol in the wall of the carotid artery, called atherosclerotic plaque, is one cause of stroke. ❋ Unknown (2010)

"These would include long term causes such as atherosclerotic lesions or plaques building within the venous walls or can be caused by short term conditions that result in swelling and increased vascular pressure such as sprained ankles, knee effusions, and even improperly applied wraps or bandages." ❋ Unknown (2008)

There is far greater drama in the blast of a bomb or the howl of a hurricane than in the creeping growth of atherosclerotic plaque; the insidious doubling of mutated cells. ❋ M.D. David Katz (2010)

The SAMMPRIS trial was focused on the treatment of severe intracranial atherosclerotic disease, earlier in the treatment lifecycle and with a more aggressive drug treatment regimen than is used in standard practice today, the Fremont, Calif.-based company added. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Low testosterone is linked to a higher degree of atherosclerotic obstruction, greater heart disease risk, and ED. ❋ Jeffry Life (2011)

"Strawberries decrease atherosclerotic markers in subjects with metabolic syndrome." ❋ Unknown (2011)

But the much greater number of women who received hormone replacement therapy and avoided atherosclerotic heart disease and hip fractures might disagree. ❋ Unknown (2009)

A spokesperson from the D.C. Office of the Medical Examiner said that the cause of death was atherosclerotic and hypertensive disease. ❋ Post (2010)

For men, heart disease is generally experienced as chest pain on exertion due to a severe narrowing of the large arteries of the heart by atherosclerotic plaques, or as an acute onset of severe chest pain if the artery is acutely blocked. ❋ M.D. Glenn D. Braunstein (2010)

Thickening indicates atherosclerotic plaque formation, and therefore increased risk of heart attack or stroke. ❋ M.D. Joel Fuhrman (2011)

Although the exact means by which autoimmune disease is linked to atherosclerosis is only now becoming clear, significant evidence suggests that somewhere in the disease sequence—the cascade of plaque building up on the arterial wall, inflammation, the rise of C-reactive protein levels, and the atherosclerotic plaque erupting—an immune response against the self is involved, just as in autoimmune disease in other parts of the body. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

However, it was the first prospective study in older women to show an association between greater chocolate intake and reduced atherosclerotic plaque. ❋ Unknown (2010)
