One of MGP’s principal biological functions is the inhibition of hydroxyapatite deposition, the crystalline form of calcium phosphate found in bone. In soft tissues like arteries, unregulated hydroxyapatite accumulation leads to vascular calcification, a pathological condition associated with atherosclerosis, diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and ...
For this reason, SAD is associated with poor clinical outcomes in terms of wound healing, time to healing, limb salvage, and survival.3 WHAT IS MAC? Medial artery calcification (MAC) is independent from atherosclerosis and is correlated with aging, DM and CKD.4 MAC affects the arterial tree extensively, resembling “railroad tracks” ...
Aim To investigate the association of high-risk CVD phenotype determined by coronary artery calcification (CAC) with liver fibrosis by MRE in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). ...
Finally, the fourth step is to assess the technical feasibility for pDVA by confirming there is a suitable target artery to provide inflow to the pDVA circuit and suitable veins in the foot to arterialize and enable outflow. ...
