Endothelial dysfunction is considered as an early change in atherogenesis. Raised levels of
systemic inflammatory markers are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Endocan …

Endothelial dysfunction is regarded as the initial lesion in the development of
atherosclerosis. Endocan, previously called endothelial cell–specific molecule 1 (ESM-1), is …

Objective: Endothelial dysfunction was widely regarded as the initial lesion in the
multifactorial pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Serum endocan, a novel …

Evidence suggests that psoriasis together with other cardiovascular (CV) risk factors is
associated with increased vascular morbidity, but it is not clear whether psoriasis is an …

This study aimed to test the effects of xuezhikang, a cholestin extract that contains statin-like
components, on arterial stiffness in patients with essential hypertension. One hundred …

Many recent studies have suggested that psoriasis, a chronic, inflammatory, immune-
mediated skin disease, is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

Behçet disease (BD) is an inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent oral and genital
ulcers, skin lesions, and uveitis. Behçet disease is recognized as a multisystem vasculitis1 …

The risk of cardiovascular (CV) events is reportedly elevated in patients with psoriasis.
Evaluation of the beta stiffness index (BSI) and carotid intima–media thickness (cIMT) are …

Pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (Aix), and central aortic pressure (CAP) are
arterial stiffness markers of endothelial dysfunction (ED). We investigated the relationship …

Background Arterial stiffness is an independent determinant of cardiovascular and
