Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

The low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is established as a causative agent of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and lowering plasma LDL-C levels represents the main approach to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Statins remain the cornerstone of drug therapy for dyslipidemia.

Nattokinase (NK) is a fibrinolytic enzyme with the potential for fighting cardiovascular diseases (CVD) thanks to its antithrombotic, antihypertensive, anticoagulant, anti-atherosclerotic, and neuroprotective effects. Nattokinase was first discovered and purified from soybean fermented food by Bacillus subtilis natto.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that has been strongly associated with atherosclerosis. Comprehensive cardiovascular disease (CVD) assessment is advised, which entails screening for asymptomatic atherosclerotic plaques using carotid ultrasound.

Statins are the most frequently prescribed medications for primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The United States Preventative Services Task Force recommends that clinicians selectively offer a statin for the primary prevention of ASCVD for adults aged 40 - 75 years with one or more cardiovascular disease risk factors and an estimated 10-year risk of a cardiovascular event of 10% or greater.

There are over 363 customized risk models of the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) pooled cohort equations (PCE) in the literature, but their gains in clinical utility are rarely evaluated. We build new risk models for patients with specific comorbidities and geographic locations and evaluate whether performance improvements translate to gains in clinical utility.

Coronary artery calcified atherosclerotic plaque (CAC) predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite exposure to more severe conventional CVD risk factors, African Americans (AAs) are less likely to develop CAC, and when they do, have markedly lower levels than European Americans. Genetic factors likely contribute to the observed ethnic differences.

The latest diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in the management of coronary artery dis‐ ease by coronary artery bypass graft surgery and by percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting and in the interventional management of other atherosclerotic vascular disease have led to a reduction in cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. This book entitled Artery Bypass provides an excellent update on these advances which every physician seeing pa‐ tients with atherosclerotic vascular disease should be familiar with.

In 1856, Rudolf Virchow published “Cellular pathology” based on macroscopic and microscopic observation of diseases, and described a triad of factors on thrombosis. The three components were vascular change, blood flow alteration, and abnormalities of blood constituents. Although Virchow originally referred to venous thrombosis, the theory can also be applied to arterial thrombosis, and it is considered that atherothrombus formation is regulated by the thrombogenicity of exposed plaque contents, local hemorheology, and blood factors.

The method’s performance characteristics should be based on the intended use of the method. It is not always necessary to validate all analytical parameters that are available for a specific technique. For example, if the method is to be used for qualitative trace level analysis, there is no need to test and validate the method’s limit of quantitation, or the linearity, over the full dynamic range of the equipment. Initial parameters should be chosen according to the analyst’s experience and best judgment.

Angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are effective in reducing the risk of heart failure, myocardial infarction, and death from cardiovascular causes in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction or heart failure. ACE inhibitors have also been shown to reduce atherosclerotic complications in patients who have vascular disease without heart failure.

Medical Implications of Circadian Rhythmicity Prominent circadian variations have been reported in the incidence of acute myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, and stroke, the leading causes of death in the United States. Platelet aggregability is increased after arising in the early morning hours, coincident with the peak incidence of these cardiovascular events. A better understanding of the possible role of circadian rhythmicity in the acute destabilization of a chronic condition such as atherosclerotic disease could improve the understanding of the pathophysiology.
