Atherosclerosis: Open Access

Chronic Kidney Disease and Atherosclerosis

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is closely linked with atherosclerosis, as both conditions share common risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Atherosclerosis can contribute to the progression of CKD by reducing blood flow to the kidneys, leading to further renal damage. Conversely, CKD can exacerbate atherosclerosis by promoting inflammation and calcification in arteries. Managing cardiovascular risk factors is critical in patients with CKD to prevent the progression of both conditions.

Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a cardiovascular disorder in which plaque gets deposited on inner walls of arteries which leads to narrowing and thickening of them. Atherosclerosis also referred as arteriosclerosis. It leads to many cardio related disorders like Coronary Heart disease, Stroke, Peripheral Arterial Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease.

Atherosclerosis: Open Access Journal is supporting 28^th World Congress on Cardiology and Heart Diseases, which is going to be held during November 5-6, 2018 at Amsterdam, Netherlands. The theme of the conference is "A Vivid Innovations In The Field Of Cardiology".

Carotid Stenosis

Carotid stenosis is constriction of lumen of the carotid artery. Carotid stenosis is developed by the accumulation of fatty substances within walls of carotid arteries. Blockage of carotid arteries leads to stroke, internal bleeding and heart attack.

Vascular Surgery

It is a branch deals with surgeries of vascular diseases. Vascular surgery consists of carotid arteries surgery, aorta surgery, in conditions like May-Thurner syndrome. Vascular surgery involves surgical reconstruction, invasive catheter procedures.

Atherosclerosis Surgery

Atherosclerosis can be treated with two surgical options: bypass surgery and stenting. These treatments are preferred when atherosclerosis is at advanced stage and in case of emergency. Angioplasty and stenting relieves symptoms of heart attack. Coronary bypass surgery where a healthy vein is sewed around clogged artery.

Renal Atherosclerosis

Renal atherosclerosis refers to narrowing of renal arteries by deposition of fat plaques within arteries. Chronic kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension and tobacco addiction are the risk factors of renal atherosclerosis. Renal atherosclerosis also leads to renal damage. It can also be caused by fibro muscular dysplasia.

Advanced Medications for Atherosclerosis

Medication halts the progress of disease. Healthy lifestyle would be beneficial in treatment of atherosclerosis. The objective of treatment is to lower the cholesterol levels in the body which can be achieved by Statins (Lovastatin, simvastatin, fluvastatin) and other drugs like fibrates. If the disease is severe then a physician suggests surgeries such as angioplasty, stenting, coronary bypass surgery and atherectomy.

Endothelial Dysfunction Atherosclerosis

The renin-angiotensin axis, oxidised low-density lipoproteins, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, hyperglycaemia play a vital role in the pathogenesis of endothelial impairment. Increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules cause vasodilation endothelium. Autoimmunity also leads to endothelial dysfunction.

Obesity and Atherosclerosis

Obesity refers to presence of excess fat within body. High fat content foods and cholesterol is the major risk factor of atherosclerosis. When there is excess of low density cholesterol, it gets deposited on the inner walls of blood vessels, reduces the blood flow and leads to atherosclerosis.

Homocysteine in Atherosclerosis

Homocysteine is considered as a risk factor of atherosclerosis. Increased of levels of homocysteine increase the levels of oxidants by which the endothelium gets damaged in turn platelets accumulate and lead to the formation of plaques within the wall. This leads to narrowing of blood vessels and finally atherosclerosis.

Etiology of Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a complex disease which may start in childhood. The exact cause is not known. Atherosclerosis is triggered when some risk factors like smoking, hypertension, diabetes and high content of fats in blood damage the endothelium of arteries. When artery gets damaged plaque begins to develop and finally narrows them.

Atherosclerosis Pathology

Pathology of atherosclerosis includes a series of events. Firstly endothelial damage followed by stimulation of LDL-C and it’s oxidation in walls of vessel. Due to this monocytes reach the site, transform into macrophages and accumulate lipids which finally lead to atherosclerotic plaques.

Atherosclerosis Diagnosis

Diagnostic tests recommended by physician include blood test in which cholesterol, sugar, proteins and certain fats levels are tested. Electrocardiogram is a test performed to detect electrical activity of heart. Chest x-ray, Ankle or brachial index, Echocardiography done to detect size, shape and working of the heart. Computed topography and angiography are also done.

Intracranial Atherosclerosis

Intracranial Atherosclerosis leads to ischemic stroke. It is developed by the formation of atherosclerotic plaques within walls of intracranial arteries.The advanced stage of intracranial atherosclerosis is intracranial stenosis. High resolution Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) and intravascular ultrasound are the diagnostic approaches for detecting intracranial atherosclerotic plaques.

Occlusive Coronary Atherosclerosis

Coronary atherosclerosis is the deposition of plaques within walls of coronary arteries. The plaque occludes the coronary artery by which blood flow to the heart is stopped, this leads to heart attack. Diagnosis is done by Coronary reserve flow (CFR), serum makers and by imaging studies like echocardiography, computed topography, coronary angiography.

Atherosclerosis occurs as the blood vessels become thick and stiff. In some cases these blood vessels restrict blood flow to the organs and tissues. It refers to the buildup of fats , cholesterol and other substances on the artery walls which restrict blood flow. It is generally considered as heart problem but it can affect other parts of the body. It is preventable and treatable. Atherosclerosis is therefore a syndrome affecting arterial blood vessels due to a chronic inflammatory response of WBCs in the walls of arteries.

Ischemic Heart Disease

Ischemic heart disease (IHD), also known as coronary artery disease, occurs when the heart's blood supply is reduced due to the narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries, usually from atherosclerosis. This reduced blood flow limits the oxygen and nutrients reaching the heart muscle, leading to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and, in severe cases, heart attacks. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity. IHD is a leading cause of death globally, but lifestyle changes, medication, and surgical interventions can help manage and reduce the risk of complications.

Carotid Artery Disease

Carotid artery disease occurs when the carotid arteries, the major blood vessels that supply blood to the brain, become narrowed or blocked due to a buildup of plaque, a condition known as atherosclerosis. This narrowing can reduce blood flow to the brain, increasing the risk of stroke. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and age. Symptoms may be absent initially, but as the disease progresses, signs like transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes) or stroke may occur. Diagnosis often involves ultrasound imaging, and treatment may include lifestyle changes, medications, or surgical interventions such as carotid endarterectomy or stenting.
