The role of biomarkers and genetics in peripheral arterial disease.

27 Sep 2009 Men and women with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers than those without PAD. Observational studies link higher levels of several inflammatory biomarkers, including C-reactive protein ... Read more...

Periadventitial adipose tissue plays a critical role in vascular remodeling.

15 Sep 2009 RATIONALE: Obesity is associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular complications. However, the molecular link between obesity and vascular disease is not fully understood. Most previous studies have focused on the association between ... Read more...

Three-dimensional T2-weighted MRI of the human femoral arterial vessel wall at 3.0 Tesla.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the potential use of a novel 3D turbo spin-echo (TSE) T2-weighted (T2w) technique for assessing the vessel wall in the superficial femoral artery at 3.0 T. BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging can be used for the ... Read more...
