Artery disease characterized by plaque building up along the inner walls of the arteries of the heart resulting in a narrowing of the arteries and a reduced blood supply to the cardiac muscles.
It is associated with atheroscleroticheartdisease in half of the cases during a coronary angiogram.
2
One hypothesis is that hyperlipidemia may be a common predisposing factor to both atheroscleroticheartdisease and bone fragility.
3
Despite the worldwide occurrence of coronary atheroscleroticheartdisease (CAHD), the pathogenic mechanisms underlying this disease remain largely unknown.
4
Objective: There are still contradictory data in the literature whether patients with acromegaly are under risk in terms of atheroscleroticheartdisease.
5
Background & aims: Postprandial hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for atheroscleroticheartdisease and is associated with the consumption of high-fat diets and obesity.
