Background: Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is regarded as an early step in the development of atherosclerosis. Recent experimental data showed a crosstalk between endothelial NO-synthase activity and thyrotropin production. Therfore we studied whether basal ...
Abstract. The estimation of risk for atherosclerotic and cardiovascular events based only on the presence of classical risk factors is often insufficient. Therefore, efforts have been made to find markers that indicate the presence of preclinical disease ...
Abstract.Background: In the pathogenesis of peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAD), different risk factors of atherosclerosis are involved which stimulate the development of the functional and morphological ...

Summary. The outcome of a thrombotic vessel occlusion is related to the resolution of thrombus and restitution of blood flow. Thrombus formation simultaneously activates an enzymatic process that mediates endogenous fibrinolysis to ...
Summary:Background: Treatment of symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) through endovascular interventions is the primary revascularization strategy. Interventions restore perfusion but may cause severe injury to the vascular ...
Summary:Background: Endothelial dysfunction defines outcomes and serves as a surrogate parameter for the progression of cardiovascular disease. For symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) endovascular treatment is the primary ...
