“Stroke-Stop” Formula: A Tool for Risk Index Determination in Development of Acute Cerebrovascular Disease in Patients with Asymptomatic Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis Open
Background: Extracranial carotid artery disease is considered a risk factor for developing acute cerebrovascular diseases. The paper presents the “Stroke-Stop” formula proposed for the determination of the risk of developing stroke in pati…

Elevated Circulating PCSK9 Concentrations Predict Subclinical Atherosclerotic Changes in Low Risk Obese and Non-Obese Patients Open
PCSK9 plasma levels significantly correlated with subclinical vascular changes and their values were significantly elevated in obese subjects. We assume that PCSK9 could be used as a predictor of early vascular involvement, prior to the ex…
