    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is complex inflammatory disease of the arterial wall with progressive accumulation of lipids and narrowing of the vessel. Increasing evidence suggest that inflammation plays an important role in plaque stability and often accelerate cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction (MI). READ MORE

  7. 5. Influence of age, hypertension or myocardial infarction on cardiovascular responses to changes in body position : a population-based study in 30-, 50- and 60-year-old men

    Author : Anna Hofsten; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Age factors; blood pressure; epidemiology; hypertension; myocardial infarction; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : An age-related attenuation of the normal increase in diastolic blood pressure and heart rate upon standing has previously been observed in man. Whether this is due to aging as such or is a consequence of a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease in older compared to younger subjects is unclear. READ MORE
