Two fundamental processes of blood vessel formation are vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. Vasculogenesis refers to the de novo process of new vessel formation by migration and differentiation of endothelial progenitors into endothelial cells (ECs), whereas angiogenesis refers to the extension of pre-existing blood vessels through EC sprouting and subsequent stabilization by pericytes1,2. Angiogenesis plays an important role in not only embryonic development but also adult reproductive function and wound healing3. Furthermore, abnormal angiogenesis is associated with many pathological conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, rheumatoid arthritis, and tumor progression. Thus, exploring key molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis has become one of the most important biomedical research areas because drugs to control angiogenesis hold great promise in overcoming vascular malformation-associated diseases, especially cancer4.","PeriodicalId":15222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Disease Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"92-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43000339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statistical \u0000joint generalized linear models (JGLMs) are considered using both Gamma & Log-normal distributions. \u0000Results: It is observed from Cholesterol level modeling that Cholesterol level is higher for female heart patients (P=0.0013) than \u0000male, or at older ages (P=0.0012) than younger. It is higher for the patients with high maximum heart rate (P=0.0877), or having \u0000resting electrocardiographic at normal level (P=0.0107), or with thalassemia at reversal defect (P=0.0466) and at fixed defect \u0000(P=0.0940) than at normal. It is also higher for the patients having heart disease diagnosis (angiographic disease status) value 0 \u0000(meaning less than 50% diameter narrowing) (P=0.0515) than others. Variance of Cholesterol level is higher for female patients \u0000(P=0.0265) than male, and it increases as ST depression induced by exercise relative to rest (Oldpeak) (P=0.0095) increases. \u0000From maximum heart rate modeling, it is noted that maximum heart rate increases as the Cholesterol level (P=0.0325) increases. \u0000In addition, variance of maximum heart rate decreases as the Cholesterol level (P=0.0058) increases. Also from resting blood \u0000pressure modeling, it is observed that mean resting blood pressure increases as the Cholesterol level increases, where it is a \u0000confounder in the model. \u0000Conclusions: Cholesterol levels should be examined regularly at older ages, along with the maximum heart rate achieved, \u0000thalassemia status, and resting blood pressure for both male and female heart patients.","PeriodicalId":15222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Disease Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"97-100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46580331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
