Aortic Aging In The Fischer 344 / Nniahsd × Brown Norway / Binia Rat, Kevin Rice, Miaozong Wu, Eric Blough May 2013

Aortic Aging In The Fischer 344 / Nniahsd × Brown Norway / Binia Rat, Kevin Rice, Miaozong Wu, Eric Blough

Kevin M Rice

Aging is now recognized as one of major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is well documented that elderly populations show increased incidence of CVD symptomology but whether these changes are directly related to aging is not well understood since the possibility exists that other age-associated pathologies in different organ systems could impact on cardiovascular function. Hence, the development of an aging model with reduced systemic illness could invigorate efforts to understand the direct role of aging in CVD progression. The Fischer 344 / NNIaHSD × Brown Norway / BiNia rat (F344BN) has been proposed as a potential model …


Gender Differences And Predictors Of Mortality In Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: A Review Of Reported Cases, Ellen Thompson, Sueellen Ferraris, Todd Gress, Victor Ferraris Apr 2013

Gender Differences And Predictors Of Mortality In Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: A Review Of Reported Cases, Ellen Thompson, Sueellen Ferraris, Todd Gress, Victor Ferraris

Ellen A. Thompson

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare but potentially lethal event.1,2 It is a separation between the intimal and medial wall of the coronary vessel. The potential result of the dissection is obstruction of the vessel lumen and subsequent myocardial ischemia. Prior to the widespread use of coronary angiography, diagnosis was made at autopsy.2 From reported cases, some trends have been identified. There are reported associations with female sex,2,3 exercise,4–7pregnancy and postpartum state,8–12 coronary artery disease,2, 13, 14 and connective tissue disorders.9,15,16 The left anterior descending artery is more affected in women; the right coronary artery is more often …
