Presentation
Atherosclerosis-like lesions in non-stenosed aortic valves In the present study, atherosclerosis-like changes in aortic valves were present in 45 of 48 subjects aged 20 years. [heart.bmj.com]
Finally, the present study did not enroll adults aged 90 years. Conclusions The present study reports the first CMR population-based study of subclinical aortic atherosclerosis in a free-living population. [atvb.ahajournals.org]
Baseline was defined as conditions that were present at or before the first SPARC visit. Mean age was 66.9 13.3 years. [onlinejacc.org]
With the present possibility of resection and graft replacement, 1 2 3 the outlook for the patient, although serious, is at least hopeful. [nejm.org]
CASE PRESENTATION A 48-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with acute chest pain lasting for 2 hours. The patient had a 2-week history of intermittent fever up to 39 C, dyspnea and sweating. [romanianjournalcardiology.ro]

Weight Loss

Weight loss and exercise can lower CRP levels. Statins, a common class of medications used to treat cholesterol, can also lower CRP. [healthywomen.org]
The following foods are high in unsaturated fats and can help keep bad cholesterol levels down: olive oil avocados walnuts oily fish nuts seeds Exercise: Exercise will improve fitness levels, lower blood pressure, and help weight loss. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Exercise, weight loss, and dietary changes are also helpful in preventing the progression of atherosclerosis. [emedicinehealth.com]
If you’re overweight or obese, work with your doctor to create a reasonable weight-loss plan. Controlling your weight helps you control risk factors for atherosclerosis. [vascular.surgery.ucsf.edu]

Severe Pain
pain and other symptoms such as loss of consciousness or shock, depending on the location of the aneurysm and the amount of bleeding. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
The patient with a ruptured aortic aneurysm exhibits severe pain and blood loss, leading to shock. A ruptured cerebral aneurysm produces neurologic symptoms and can resemble the clinical picture of stroke syndrome. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
If the arteries supplying the legs are affected (see Peripheral Vascular Disease ), the person may have severe pain in the legs. [emedicinehealth.com]
Drugs for peripheral arterial disease If you have severe pain or cramping in your legs when you walk, your health care professional may recommend clopidogrel (Plavix), cilostazol (Pletal) or pentoxifylline (Trental). [healthywomen.org]

Collapse
In about 20 percent of cases, an undiscovered abdominal aneurysm ruptures without warning, and the patient collapses and dies from massive bleeding inside the abdomen, according to the Mayo Clinic. [livestrong.com]
The stent acts as a scaffold, supporting the arterial walls, preventing collapse or recoil, and seals over injured areas of the endothelium. [emedicinehealth.com]

Weight Gain
Sedentary lifestyles can result in weight gain and muscle loss and also greatly increase the risk. This risk is reduced by incorporating regular exercise into the lifestyle. Symptoms Atherosclerosis is often undetected prior to plaque accumulation. [healthguideinfo.com]
Alcohol also adds extra calories, which may cause weight gain. Men should have no more than two drinks containing alcohol a day. Women should have no more than one drink containing alcohol a day. [vascular.surgery.ucsf.edu]

Prognosis
Therapy was relatively ineffective, prognosis regarding time was utterly uncertain, and the ultimate prognosis for life was hopeless. [nejm.org]
Detection of AA by TEE may be a marker for CAD and early detection of aortic atherosclerosis may contribute to diagnostic and therapeutic interventions and thereby improve the prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Arteriosclerosis Prognosis Prognosis is good when arteriosclerosis is treated early with heathy life-style changes, medicines or medical procedures. [baptisthealth.com]
Prognosis Little is known about the natural history of penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer. This disease entity has been considered by most authors to have a poorer prognosis than classic aortic dissection. [ijri.org]
Prognosis Atherosclerosis leads to the number one cause of death in the and many other countries for both men and women: coronary artery disease. However, people with atherosclerosis are living longer with better quality of life than ever before. [drugs.com]
Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
The University of Michigan Frankel Cardiovascular Center is home to the International Registry of Aortic Dissection, and several research laboratories that are exploring the molecular etiologies of aortic diseases. [umcvc.org]

Their inclusion is a potential limitation for the cerebrovascular outcome analysis, because plaques were most common in the descending aorta, which is not an expected pathophysiologic substrate for stroke. [onlinejacc.org]
