Journal ArticleDOI
Regular Physical Activity and Vascular Aging.
TL;DR: Exercise training of various durations and intensities appears to prevent and restore the age-related impairment of endothelial function, likely through the restoration of NO availability, reduction in oxidative stress, and turnover of the apoptotic process in the endothelium, thus minimizing vascular inflammation and decreasing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.

Coronary artery calcification and cardiovascular risk: the role of RANKL/OPG signalling.
Alessandra Quercioli,Fabrizio Montecucco,Maria Bertolotto,Luciano Ottonello,Aldo Pende,François Mach,Franco Dallegri +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential clinical use of both RANKL/OPG and coronary calcium score (CAC) to assess cardiovascular vulnerability has been discussed, and emerging evidence indicates that atherosclerotic plaque calcification is positively correlated with vulnerability.

TL;DR: MDCT is an excellent noninvasive technique for early identification of significant coronary stenoses in high risk asymptomatic hypertensive patients and might provide unique information for the screening of this broad population of patients.

TL;DR: Being male, older than 40 years, falling into the lower-risk categories, compliance with the medication regimen, and patient knowledge that the LDL-C goal had been reached, were associated with the highest probability of attaining cholesterol-lowering goals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary Prevention of Acute Coronary Syndrome. Socio-economic and Lifestyle Determinants: A Literature Review
TL;DR: There is vast evidence that secondary prevention of cardiovascular events cannot be accomplished simply through medical treatment, but it requires a multifaceted approach incorporating lifestyle modifications, too, so public health policy endeavours should be directed towards multifocal strategies.

TL;DR: The focus of the present series of articles on Africa in this issue of Circulation on sub-Saharan Africa is linguistically and culturally different from Northern Africa, which is also the putative cradle of humankind.
