Current and Emerging Approaches to Imaging Large Vessel Vasculitis Open
Large vessel vasculitides (LVV) comprise a group of inflammatory disorders that involve the large arteries, such as the aorta and its primary branches. The cause of LVV is often rheumatologic and includes giant cell arteritis and Takayasu …

Anxiety and Depression Associated With Increased Cardiovascular Disease Risk Through Accelerated Development of Risk Factors Open
Anxiety/depression accelerate the development of CVDRFs. This association appears to be most notable among younger women and may be mediated by stress-related neuro-immune pathways. Evaluations of tailored preventive measures for individua…
