Abstract

Fifty stented lesions in 50 patients with acute myocardial infarction were studied by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) before and just after stent implantation and at follow-up. Volumetric IVUS analyses revealed that greater peristent positive remodeling after stent implantation was associated with less neointimal proliferation and greater luminal gain at follow-up.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
