The association between apolipoprotein E gene polymorphisms and essential hypertension: a meta-analysis of 45 studies including 13 940 cases and 16 364 controls
(2013)The apolipoprotein E single-nucleotide polymorphisms are among the potential candidate genes that may serve as modulators in susceptibility to essential hypertension. In an effort to clarify earlier inconclusive results, ... -
Association between periodontal disease and stroke
(2012)Objective: Periodontitis is a very common human infection. There is evidence that periodontitis is associated with cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and stroke. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between ... -
The association between plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) levels, PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism, and myocardial infarction: a Mendelian randomization meta-analysis
(2014)Background: The circulating levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) are increased in individuals carrying the 4G allele at position -675 of the PAI-1 gene. In turn, overexpression of PAI-1 has been found ... -
Association of plaque echostructure and cardiovascular risk factors with symptomatic carotid artery disease
(2010)Aim. Severity of stenosis remains the main factor for assessing risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of plaque echostructure and ... -
Association of plaque echostructure and cardiovascular risk factors with symptomatic carotid artery disease
(2009)Background: Severity of stenosis remains the main factor for assessing risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of plaque echostructure ... -
Management of the near total internal carotid artery occlusion
(2005)Objectives. The risk of stroke in patients with near total internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion is perceived to be high as stroke risk increases with severity of the stenosis. The management of this entity has not been ... -
Statin treatment is associated with improved prognosis in patients with AF-related stroke
(2014)Background/objectives: The most recent ACC/AHA guidelines recommend high-intensity statin therapy in ischemic stroke patients of presumably atherosclerotic origin. On the contrary, there is no specific recommendation for ... -
Variants of the Arachidonate 5-Lipoxygenase-Activating Protein (ALOX5AP) Gene and Risk of Stroke: A HuGE Gene-Disease Association Review and Meta-Analysis
(2009)Variants of the arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) gene have been implicated as a risk factor for stroke. However, genetic association studies that have examined the association between ALOX5AP gene ...
