[Mesenterointestinocolonovascular arterial ischemic disease: guidelines of the angiology section of Slovak Medical Chamber (AS SMC, 2013)].

Organovascular arterial ischemic diseases (cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, extremitovascular, renovascular, genitovascular, pulmovascular, mesenterovascular, dermovascular, oculovascular, otovascular, stomatovascular etc.) are an important manifestations of systemic atherosclerosis and other arterial diseases of vascular system (arteriolosclerosis/arteriolonecrosis; diabetic macroangiopathy; diabetic microangiopathy; Mönckeberg´s mediosclerosis/mediocalcinosis; arteritis - vasculitis; syndromes of arterial compression; fibromuscular dysplasia; cystic adventitial degeneration; arterial thrombosis; arterial embolism/thromboembolism; traumatic and posttraumatic arteriopathies; physical arteriopathies; chemical and toxic arteriopathies; iatrogenic arterial occlusions; dissection of aorta and of arteries; coiling; kinking; complicated arterial aneurysms; arteriovenous fistula, rare vascular diseases). Key clinical-etiology-anatomy-pathophysiology (CEAP) aspects of the mesenteriovascular arterial ischemic diseases are discussed in this article (project Vessels).

Relationship between unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and lipoprotein spectrum.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the serum bilirubin level, lipid and lipoprotein parameters with the emphasis on the presence of atherogenic small dense LDL in patients with Gilbert's syndrome and to compare these results with probands in the control group. We used a new electrophoretic method, which enables to analyze up to 12 lipoprotein subpopulations. Atherogenic lipoprotein profile is characterized by the presence of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) and the presence of small dense LDL lipoproteins.
