May 14th, 2022 - Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) are pathologies that appear to be closely related. This study compares the characteristics of the FMD population to the non-FMD population in a SCAD cohort. It thus as...

Apr 14th, 2022 - A professional cyclist covers approximately 25,000 km a year and flexes the hip 8,000,000 times in a year, while leg blood flow is in the range of 10-15 litres per minute. This poses a substantial hemodynamic load on the iliac artery. As a result,...

Apr 11th, 2022 - Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is an uncommon angiopathy of uncertain etiology associated with heterogeneous histologic changes that may affect the carotid and vertebral circulation, visceral arteries, and peripheral arteries. Mesenteric artery FMD...

Apr 8th, 2022 - Genome-wide association studies have revealed robust associations of common genetic polymorphisms in an intron of the PHACTR-1 (phosphatase and actin regulator 1) gene (chr6p24), with cervical artery dissection, spontaneous coronary artery dissect...

Mar 25th, 2022 - Coronary artery disease of non-atherosclerotic aetiology, while rare in incidence, can have a wide aetiology, such as fibromuscular dysplasia, which is a non-inflammatory arteriopathy of numerous histopathological types of fibromuscular tissue acc...

Jan 21st, 2022 - Study question: Do mutations within certain genes cause or confer susceptibility to spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD)? Specific aims: Create a genomic DNA and plasma biobank for individuals diagnosed with SCAD. Identify inherited and d...

Oct 6th, 2021 - Specific aims Specific aim 1: To establish a library of fibroblasts, DNA, plasma and serum from patients with FMD, SCAD and CvAD and unaffected healthy control subjects. Specific aim 2: To perform a fully powered cross-tissue systems analysis of t...

May 29th, 2020 - Aims, purpose, or objectives: To describe whether contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, strain imaging, and 3-D volume ultrasonography are helpful to characterize affected arteries and improve the imaging of arterial wall among patients with Fibromus...

Dec 3rd, 2021 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - In patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), severe vascular events were rare in a case series with five-year follow-up. "SCAD is a cause of acute myocardial infarction, mainly affecting women. It is ...

Jun 22nd, 2018 - The nonatherosclerotic arterial disease fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is usually diagnosed in middle age. But when it emerges in older age, the course is more benign and less symptomatic, the U.S. Registry for Fibromuscular Dysplasia showed in a s...

Mar 20th, 2018 - For the first time, the American Heart Association (AHA) has issued a scientific statement on spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), which they hope will "spur a change in the paradigm of care for women and men with SCAD."   Despite advanc...
