Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of subclinical atherosclerosis by computed tomography coronary angiography and its association with risk factors in familial hypercholesterolemia.
Marcio H. Miname,Mario S. Ribeiro,José Rodrigues Parga Filho,Luis F. Avila,Luiz Aparecido Bortolotto,L. Martinez,Carlos E. Rochitte,Raul D. Santos +7 more
TL;DR: The burden of atherosclerosis and individual plaque subtypes differed with the presence of other associated risk factors, with age and cholesterol being most important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation between visceral fat and coronary artery disease evaluated by multidetector computed tomography
Mateus Diniz Marques,Raul D. Santos,José R. Parga,Jose Alves Rocha-Filho,Luiz A. Quaglia,Marcio H. Miname,Luiz Francisco Rodrigues de Ávila +6 more
TL;DR: Visceral fat assessed by CT is an independent marker of CAD determined by CT angiography, and age and VFA T12-L1 as the only independent variables associated to CAD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Familial hypercholesterolaemia: evolving knowledge for designing adaptive models of care.
Gerald F. Watts,Gerald F. Watts,Samuel S. Gidding,Pedro Mata,Jing Pang,David R. Sullivan,David R. Sullivan,Shizuya Yamashita,Frederick J. Raal,Raul D. Santos,Kausik K. Ray +10 more
TL;DR: The latest advances that can inform the development and implementation of new models of care for familial hypercholesterolaemia are summarized, with an emphasis on articles published since 2014.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of phytosterols on markers of inflammation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Viviane Z. Rocha,Rouyanne T. Ras,Ana Carolina Moron Gagliardi,Leonardo Celeste Mangili,Elke A. Trautwein,Raul D. Santos +5 more
TL;DR: Regular intake of PS-enriched foods did not significantly change CRP, whilst LDL-C concentrations were significantly reduced, and further studies with higher PS doses may provide more definite conclusions on a potential anti-inflammatory effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation of uric acid to serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and to hepatic steatosis.
Tanya Keenan,Michael J. Blaha,Khurram Nasir,Khurram Nasir,Michael G. Silverman,Rajesh Tota-Maharaj,Jose A.M. Carvalho,Raquel D. Conceição,Roger S. Blumenthal,Raul D. Santos +9 more
TL;DR: High UA levels were associated with increased TG/HDL and hepatic steatosis independently of metabolic syndrome and obesity and with increased hs-CRP independently of obesity and metabolic syndrome.
