Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePaleolithic-Style Diet and Coronary Artery Disease: The Tissue is the Issue?Eri Toda, Takahashi Toru, R. B. Singh et al.Approach: While the Western diet is proatherogenic, Paleolithic-style diet may be protective against Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs). Results: Western diet is characterized with energy dense, refined, foods with a high glycemic index (e.g., refined starches; biscuits and bread) and unhealthy lipids (e.g., trans fats, saturated fat, omega-6 rich oils) poor in omega-3 fatty acids, phytochemicals and fibre. These diets are known … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 10 Aug 2012 · 7,135 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleUtilization of Specific Index for Measuring the Association between Periodontal Conditions and Coronary Artery DiseaseNavabi Nader, Farzaneh MehdizadehProblem statement: There is increasing evidence that periodontal disease could play a role in the Progression of coronary heart disease although there are conflicting results about this association in the literature and the difference of used periodontal scoring systems among the studies might be a reason. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a specific scoring system Periodontal Index … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,019 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMMP-9 is a Potential Prognostic Marker of Left Ventricular Remodeling in Patients with Coronary Artery DiseaseMikhail Aleksandrovich Popov, Anastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Dmitry Valerievich Shumakov et al.Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) emerges as a promising prognostic marker for assessing left ventricular remodeling in patients with coronary artery disease, particularly in the context of Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) complicated by left ventricular aneurysm. In this study, we conducted two parallel investigations to explore the prognostic significance of MMP-9 in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease undergoing left ventricular reconstruction … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 11 Jul 2024 · 4,310 accessesView PDF Cite
