Abstract:Aortic calcification—a marker of advanced atherosclerosis in large arteries—associates with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Little is known about the soluble inflamJarmatory profiles involved in large artery atherosclerosis. We investigated the correlation between aortic calcification in the abdominal aorta and cytokine levels in a cohort of peripheral artery disease patients. Aortic calcification index was measured from computed tomography exams and circulating cytokine levels were analyzed from blood… Show more
