thickening and loss of elasticity of arterial walls; atherosclerosis is the most common form of arteriosclerosis and involves lipid deposition and thickening of the intimal cell layers within arteries; additional forms of arteriosclerosis involve calcification of the media of muscular arteries (Monkeberg medial calcific sclerosis) and thickening of the walls of small arteries or arterioles due to cell proliferation or hyaline deposition (arteriolosclerosis).

  • Myocardial remodeling in response to left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implant

    Homo sapiens Homo sapiens | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    19 paired human left ventricular apex samples were harvested at the time of implant of a left ventricular assist device (PRE) and at the time of explant (POST). The cohort included patients that were clinically classified as "ischemic" (I) showing evidence of coronary artery disease, "non-ischemic" …

  • Simvastatin treatment of HPBM-macrophages

    Homo sapiens Homo sapiens | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, statins, have beneficial vascular effects beyond their cholesterol-lowering action. These pleiotropic effects include an anti-inflammatory effect on macrophages. Since macrophages play a central role in atherogenesis, we further characterized the effects on peripheral b…
