AimsCarotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), a direct measure of aortic stiffness, has become increasingly important for total cardiovascular (CV) risk estimation. Its application as routine tool clinical patient evaluation been hampered by the absence reference values. The aim present study is to establish and normal values PWV based on large European population.
Background —Proinflammatory cytokines released by injured endothelium facilitate interaction of endothelial cells with circulating leukocytes and thus may contribute to development progression atherosclerosis. We investigated whether C-reactive protein (CRP) are indicative myocardial ischemia or diseased vessels they influenced aspirin treatment in patients chronic stable angina. Methods Results —Plasma macrophage colony stimulating factor (MCSF), IL-1b, IL-6, CRP were measured 60 after...
Background— Aortic stiffness is a marker of cardiovascular disease and an independent predictor risk. Although association between inflammatory markers increased arterial has been suggested, the causative relationship inflammation not investigated. Methods Results— One hundred healthy individuals were studied according to randomized, double-blind, sham procedure–controlled design. Each substudy consisted 2 treatment arms, 1 with Salmonella typhi vaccination vaccination. Vaccination produced...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection has evolved into a global pandemic. Low-dose colchicine combines anti-inflammatory action with favorable safety profile.To evaluate the effect of treatment on cardiac and inflammatory biomarkers clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized disease 2019 (COVID-19).In this prospective, open-label, randomized trial (the Greek Study Effects Colchicine COVID-19 Complications Prevention), 105 were 1:1 allocation from April 3 to 27, 2020,...
Background— Adiponectin is an adipokine with potentially important roles in human cardiovascular disease states. We studied the role of adiponectin cross-talk between adipose tissue and vascular redox state patients atherosclerosis. Methods Results— The study included 677 undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Endothelial function was evaluated by flow-mediated dilation brachial vivo vasomotor studies saphenous vein segments ex vivo. Vascular superoxide (O 2 − ) endothelial nitric...
Colchicine has been utilized safely in a variety of cardiovascular clinical conditions. Among its potential mechanisms action is the non-selective inhibition NLRP3 inflammasome which thought to be major pathophysiologic component course patients with COVID-19. GRECCO-19 will prospective, randomized, open-labeled, controlled study assess effects colchicine COVID-19 complications prevention. Patients laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (under RT PCR) and picture that involves temperature...
