BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate that the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women is no less than that in men and menopausal women are equally vulnerable as men. Studies of recent risk factors like hyperhomocysteinemia and elevation in...

The expanding role of lipoprotein apheresis in the treatment of raised lipoprotein(a) in ischaemic heart disease and refractory angina.

Global cardiology science & practice

Khan TZ, Pottle A, Pennell DJ, Barbir MS.
PMID: 25054114
Glob Cardiol Sci Pract. 2014 Jan 29;2014(1):3-12. doi: 10.5339/gcsp.2014.3. eCollection 2014.

It is increasingly recognised that lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], an inherited, genetically-determined form of LDL-cholesterol, is an independent cardiovascular risk factor and predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Lp(a) is felt to increase cardiovascular risk via its pro-thrombotic effect and by enhancing...

Short-term efficacy of recombinant human GH therapy in cured acromegaly patients with GH deficiency: a single-center experience.

Endocrine connections

The effectiveness and short-term safety of recombinant human GH (r-hGH) in acromegaly patients with GH deficiency (GHD) after treatment are not well established. The study includes ten subjects with acromegaly who had GHD treated with r-hGH for 6 months....

Using Mendelian Randomization studies to Assess Causality and Identify New Therapeutic Targets in Cardiovascular Medicine.

Current genetic medicine reports

Zhao W, Lee JJ, Rasheed A, Saleheen D.

Soluble dietary fiber (DF) reduces the risk of developing diabetes and may have therapeutic effects in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). The present study aimed to investigate the effect of soluble DF on metabolic control in patients...

Fluorescence labeling and interaction of atherogenic lipoproteins with cultured cells.

Journal of fluorescence

Hofer G, Gorges R, Kostner GM, Paltauf F, Hermetter A.
