Abstract:

<p>Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a potentially curable cause of hypertension and azotemia. Besides intra-arterial renal angiography there are several non-invasive techniques utilized to diagnose patients with suspicion of renal artery stenosis. Removing the stenosis by revascularization to restore unobstructed blood flow to the kidney is known to improve and even cure hypertension/azotemia, but is associated with a significant complication rate. </p><p>To visualize renal arteries with x-ray techniques a contrast medium must be used.

Heart disease, including coronary artery disease, affects approximately 42 million women in the United States. Many of those affected are not aware they have the condition. Contributing to the problem is the fact that women are more likely than men to be misdiagnosed and undertreated for heart disease. Morbidity and mortality are high in women affected by heart disease, making the problem important to address. The purpose of this project was to understand the coronary artery or heart disease risk and the treatment for the condition provided for 31 participants at a cardiology service in the No

Abstract:

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects 8 to 10 million Americans, and the incidence of PAD is expected to increase as the population ages. A high percentage of the PAD is undiagnosed prior to the onset of a serious cardiovascular event; therefore, the inability to screen and diagnose for PAD in the early stages could hinder efforts to decrease adverse consequences of cardiovascular disease. Individuals with PAD have a 3 to 5 times increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality when compared to people without PAD. Guided by the Stetler model, the purpose of this project was to evalua

Periodontitis and coronary artery disease (CAD) are highly prevalent in Sweden’s population; both diseases have complicated pathogeneses and clinical manifestations due to immune-system triggered inflammation. Research in recent years reported that inflammation is a significant active participant in many chronic diseases. The literature described a CAD-periodontitis association, but underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. It is important to acquire knowledge about how periodontitis might influence CAD, which is one of the major causes of illness and death in western countries. Because

Abstract:

Background: Inorganic nitrite, a metabolite of endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) from NO synthases, provides the largest endocrine source of directly bioavailable NO. The conversion of nitrite to NO occurs mainly through enzymatic reduction, which is particularly favoured under hypoxia. Thus, current evidence shows that nitrite dilates small resistance arterioles where conditions of hypoxia predominate. Although organic nitrates/nitrites also mediate their principal effects via NO, they are not hypoxia dependent; hence, they selectively dilate muscular conduit arteries, lowering central

Aortic stiffness underlies systolic hypertension, promotes heart failure and is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is regarded as a primary driver of left ventricular hypertrophy and aortic aneurysms and is linked to the pathogenesis of cognitive impairment, stroke and renal failure. Like most cardiovascular traits, aortic stiffness is a complex trait and is moderately heritable, yet the precise molecular mechanisms that underpin the stiffening process remain poorly defined.

Heavy snoring has recently been identified as a risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis but the mechanisms are unclear. Studies of snoring have been fraught with difficulties in trying to define a snore, as well as the lack of consensus in how to actually measure a snore during sleep. Therefore, the main aim of this thesis was to go beyond the inherent problems of trying to define a snore, and examine the effects on the carotid artery of the two principle components that underpin the properties of a snore; namely that of (1) vibration energy and (2) increased negative intrapleural pressure cha

Abstract:

Saccular aneurysms are the abnormal plastic deformation of veins and arteries that can lead to lethal thrombus genesis or internal hemorrhaging. Medication and surgery greatly reduce the mortality rates, but treatment is limited by predicting who will develop aneurysms. A common location for saccular aneurysm genesis is at the main middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation. The main MCA bifurcation is comprised of the M1 MCA segment, parent artery, and two M2 segments, daughter arteries. Studies have found that the lateral angle (LA) ratio of the MCA bifurcation is correlated with aneurysm form
