TL;DR: The intent of this review is to examine some of the mechanisms behind the acceleration of atherosclerosis in the diabetic, in light of cellular and extracellular events currently thought to be implicated in atherogenesis.

TL;DR: There are remarkable differences in the proliferative behavior of the smooth muscle cells themselves in these two diseases: atherosclerosis and hypertension, where changes in hypertension occur within a more orderly preservation of vessel wall structure.

TL;DR: Patients with aortic stenosis may demonstrate a paradoxical vasodilation and syncope during exercise when there likely is excessive stimulation of left ventricular receptors by the high transmural pressure.

TL;DR: The functional classification, which will be used in this article, does not depend on the absence of a specific etiologic factor, but rather relies on structural and functional characteristics.

TL;DR: It is believed that control of coronary heart disease and stroke requires appropriate treatment of lipoprotein disorders and the methods for a strong beginning in this endeavor are at hand.

TL;DR: The application of ultrasound to clinical evaluation of the symptomatic patient requires less precision and accuracy than when it is used as an instrument to study atherogenesis, and the target vessels of choice appear to be the carotid arteries.

TL;DR: There appears to be a primary disease of the mitral leaflets in which left ventricular cineangiography has demonstrated abnormal contraction patterns of the left ventricle in some patients, but there is not sufficient evidence currently to ascribe these histologic, metabolic and angiographic changes to a primary cardiomyopathic condition.

TL;DR: An analysis of the physical and electrical principles underlying cardiac pacing is presented to facilitate an understanding of the essence and limitations of numerical data provided by currently available pacing system analyzers, which are testing devices designed to simplify routine parameter measurements.
