"Role of Noninvasive Imaging in the Approach to Atherosclerotic Disease in Diabetes"Prof. Valentin Fuster (biography)
English - 2006-11-11 - 32 minutes
|
 | (58 slides) |
Summary :
What are some strategic priorities concerning diabetes, atherothrombosis and imaging? In this presentation Prof. Fuster talks about the role of non-invasive imaging in the approach to atherosclerotic disease in diabetes.
Cardiovascular medicine is likely to focus more in the future on understanding and protecting health, and priorities may involve enhancing biological defense mechanisms which maintain health. For example, endothelial progenitor cells derived from the bone marrow are believed to have proliferative potential, and may be important in vascular regeneration (1). In a high risk factor profile, the concentration of bone marrow cells in the blood is decreased, and so it is of interest to try to maintain bone marrow competence. Prof. Fuster also discusses 2 other molecular/cell processes to enhance, and clinical risk groups to identify and protect.
