Atherosclerosis

As per available reports about 650 journals, 54 Conferences, workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to atherosclerosis and about 3238 articles are being published on the current trends in atherosclerosis. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to proteomics are being carried out. As reported in the above mentioned 620 articles, atherosclerosis is a specific form of arteriosclerosis in which an artery wall thickens as a result of invasion and accumulation of white blood cells (termed "fatty streaks" early on because of appearance being similar to that of marbled steak) and containing both living active WBCs (called inflammation) and remnants of dead cells, including cholesterol and triglycerides, eventually calcium and other crystallized materials, within the outer-most and oldest plaque. These changes reduce the elasticity of the artery walls but do not affect blood flow for decades because the artery muscular wall enlarges at the locations of plaque. However, the wall stiffening may eventually increase pulse pressure; widened pulse pressure is one possible result of advanced disease within the major arteries.

Journal of Clinical & Experimental Cardiology is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in atherosclerosis. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Clinical & Experimental Cardiology provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of atherosclerosis, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS International – a pioneer in organizing international conferences is about to conduct a conference on Atheroslcerosis. OMICS Group invites all the participants across the globe to attend the 5th International Conference on Clinical and Experimental Cardiology during Apr 27-29, 2015, Philadelphia, USA with the theme of “Blooming landscapes in cardio research”. OMICS Group organizes over 100 Scientific Conferences all over the globe annually with the support from various scientific associations and 20,000 editorial board members. Since its inception, OMICS Group has focused on meeting the needs of the scientific community, through strong tie-up with business and industry, while at the same time accomplishing international benchmarks and accreditation standards.
