  2. 1. Carotid stenosis: aspects on progression, stabilization and follow-up

    Author : Giuseppe Asciutto; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atherosclerosis; carotid plaque; echogenity; beta-blockers; inflammation; antibodies anti oxLDL;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular (CV) atherosclerotic diseases are the leading cause of death in Western nations. The presence of a carotid plaque, the degree of carotid stenosis as well as the rate of progression of carotid disease has been shown to be independent predictive factors for future ischemic events.

  4. 2. Lyso-PC and macrophage interplay. Scavenging through the fatty side of atherosclerosis

    Author : Katarina Berg; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is triggered by LDL entrapment in the vessel wall. Oxidation and enzymatic processing of LDL give rise to inflammatory mediators such as lyso-PC. These inflammatory mediators attract monocytes into the vessel wall where they differentiate into macrophages. The macrophages adopt different phenotypes depending on the environment. READ MORE

  5. 3. Immune Responses Aginst Aldehyde Modified Extracellular Matrix in Atherosclerosis

    Author : Pontus Dunér; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PlaqueMalondialdehydeAtherosclerosisAutoantibodiesExtracellular MatrixFibronectinLamininoxidized LDLT regulatory cellsAlum;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease and the leading cause of myocardial infarction and stroke. Accumulation, aggregation and subsequent oxidation of LDL in the arterial wall are considered as key events in the development of atherosclerosis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Detecting the Vulnerable Plaque

    Author : Andreas Edsfeldt; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atherosclerosis; Carotid plaque; Inflammation; Diabetes; LpPLA2; suPAR; Cytokines; Lipids;

    Abstract : Myocardial infarction and stroke, mainly caused by a rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque, are two of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity in the world. Previous studies have pointed out inflammation, driven by inflammatory lipids, as the keystone in the formation of the rupture prone vulnerable plaque. READ MORE

  7. 5. Adaptive Immunity in Cardiovascular Disease

    Author : Daniel Engelbertsen; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis, thickening of the major arteries, is a chronic disease leading to cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, both affecting millions worldwide. T-cells and antibodies have been implicated in atherosclerosis. READ MORE
