Summary
Objective. The aim of this paper is to review the recent literature describing the different presentation, clinical features and risk factors of cardiovascular diseases between different sexes.
Methods. The publication databases PubMed and Cochrane Library, as well as the specialized information search system Google Scholar, were selected for the search of scientific literature sources.
Summary
Background. Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of mortality world - wide. The aim of this study was to review the epidemiology of atherosclerosis and eval u ate the level of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipopro tein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), glucose in a group of young adults and assess their potential impact on the atherogenesis process aswell as compare with those markers in different people groups.
The main purpose of this article is to review the importance of microparticles, the possibiltty of ustng them in routine clinical practice and the latest currently applicable methods and protocols for their isotation and analysis. Many cells as endothelial cells, white cells, platelets, red blood cells release microparticles.
Cardiovascular diseases remain the predomnant cause of morbidty and mortality in the world mainly because of atherosclerosis, which is determined by several factors, including plasma lipoproteins. The most import ant are low-density lipoproteins, which stimulate retention of cholesterol in artery wall, and high-density lipoproteins, which have an antiaterogenic effect.
Atherosclerosis is one of the main metabolic diseases affecting millions worldwide. This disease is caused by hardening of arterial wall and forma -tion of plaques that encroach on the lumen of medium-sized and large arteries. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of your body. Disease starts in young age and eventually lead to serious complications, like heart stroke, stroke, or even death.
