The increase of emotional stress has disturbing effects on the neurohormonal regulations of metabolic processes, especially in relation to the cardiovascular system, and increases the chances of organisms developing atherosclerosis. This book studies the effects on the cardiovascular system (in IHD patients) caused by emotions of diverse biological qualities (both positive and negative). At the same time, the relationship between these effects on the functional activity of various hormonal systems, and the blood coagulating systems are studied in order to determine the mechanisms and developme

Dietary Proteins and Atherosclerosis provides a thorough review of the role of proteins in the development of atherosclerosis. The author reviews early research connections between dietary fat and cardiovascular disease caused by the build-up of plaque in arteries and examines other factors that contribute to atherosclerosis, such as infection and dietary proteins. Relying on data obtained from almost 2,000 research articles and literature reviews, the author provides a thorough analytical examination and discusses how emphasis on the role of dietary fat in atherogenesis has overshadowed the c

Atherosclerosis is a degenerative condition in which arteries build up deposits called plaques (atheromas) which consist of lipids (mainly cholesterol), connective tissue and smooth muscle cells originating from the arterial wall. Plaques develop quietly over a period of years and are unnoticeable until there is an interruption in the normal flow of blood. Plaques may partially or totally block the blood’s flow through an artery. Two things that can happen where plaques occur are: bleeding (haemorrhage) into the plaque; and formation of a blood clot (thrombus) on the plaque’s surfa

Atherosclerosis is the most common cardiovascular disorder in western societies and is rapidly becoming similarly prevalent in the underdeveloped world. Written by notable authorities and providing text rich in illustrative figures, Molecular Mechanisms in Atherosclerosis addresses the fundamental mechanisms underlying atherothrombosis and delineates current views of the molecular and cellular basis of the process. The editor approaches the issue from a mechanistic perspective, and does so in the context of contemporary knowledge of molecular and cellular pathobiology. The book provides an epi

Atherosclerosis Risk Factors provides practitioners, laboratorians, and researchers with information about specific characteristics -- called risk factors -- that may be predictive of the development of atherosclerosis. It examines the evidence demonstrating that changing these risk factors impacts the subsequent risk of progression. In essence, the aim of the book is to provide the reader with insight regarding which biochemical atherosclerosis risk factors provide clinically relevant information that will assist the clinician medically -- rather than anatomically -- preventing, arresting, or

Non-Invasive Surrogate Markers of Atherosclerosis details the scientific and clinical support for using non-invasive imaging modalities to evaluate the presence of surrogate markers of atherosclerosis, in conjunction with traditional methods of diagnosing cardiovascular disease. This new book covers the topic completely and explores some of the following:
