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]

Diseases of arteries, arterioles and capillaries (I70-I79) I70 Atherosclerosis Includes: arteriolosclerosis arteriosclerosis arteriosclerotic vascular disease atheroma degeneration: · arterial · arteriovascular · vascular endarteritis deformans or obliterans [apps.who.int]
The patients concerned have widespread and often severe arteriosclerotic vascular disease involving the coronary arteries, brain, kidneys. .. [nejm.org]
Diseases that can be caused by atherosclerosis include heart attacks, strokes, abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), and dementia. [ndcn.ox.ac.uk]
(arteries, veins) VASCULAR DISEASES The vascular system is the network of blood vessels that circulate blood to and from the heart and lungs. Vascular diseases are very common, especially as people age. [cirse.org]
The ICD code I70 is used to code Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis (also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease or ASVD) is a specific form of arteriosclerosis in which an artery wall thickens as a result of invasion and accumulation of white blood [icd.codes]
Treatment
[ edit ] Treatment is often in the form of preventive measures of prophylaxis. [en.wikipedia.org]

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]
