Intraplaque hemorrhage promotes atherosclerosis progression, and erythrocytes may contribute to this process. In study we examined the effects of red blood cells on smooth muscle cell mineralization vascular calcification possible mechanisms involved.Erythrocytes were isolated from human murine whole blood. Intact lysed their membrane fraction or specific erythrocyte components in vitro using diverse assays, ex vivo by aortic ring model, after injection into neointimal lesions...
Abstract Optimal antithrombotic treatment of older patients is usually impeded by several prevailing misconceptions. The aim our study was to assess the type, dosage and predictors therapy in with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). PAVE-AF a prospective, cross-sectional study, including NVAF ≥ 80 years from 30 participating centers. Demographic data, comorbidities patterns were documented single visit. Patients treated non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) further classified into...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a frequent complication of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Various groups have developed and validated risk scores for CI-AKI. Although the majority these achieve an adequate accuracy, their usability in clinical practice limited greatly debated. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> With present study, we aimed to prospectively assess diagnostic performance recently...
With this study, we sought to investigate the prognostic value of echocardiographic tissue imaging markers in predicting tamponade among patients with large malignant pericardial effusion compared routinely used signs.A total 96 consecutive effusion, not clinical cardiac tamponade, underwent an examination and were prospectively assessed for 1 month. Clinically evident was considered as study endpoint. The performance tricuspid valve annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) peak velocity at...
We assessed the effect of Sacubitril/Valsartan on circulating catecholamine levels in patients with HF an observational cohort study. included 108 consecutive attending our Outpatients Clinic who were eligible to according PARADIGM-HF inclusion and exclusion criteria. furthermore 58 stable under optimal medical therapy as a control group. Norepinephrine epinephrine measured immunoradiometric assays at baseline, 3- 6-month time follow-up. Compared baseline there was no change three months (p...
: The association between aortic root diameters and regurgitation in hypertension (HT) is disputed with lack of understanding the underline mehanisms lT. We investigate relationship newly diagnosed never treated hypertensive patients a group healthy subjects.Participants were 175 hypertensives (42 F 133 M) 305 normotensives (134 F, 168 age matched (mean 52.4±13 vs 52.6 ±15.2 years). Antropometric, office blood pressure (BP) measurements, comprehensive echocardiography local carotid stiffness...
Background:The pathophysiology of acute pericarditis remains largely unknown and biomarkers are needed to identify patients susceptible complications.Since adipose tissue has a pivotal role in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis, we hypothesized that quantification epicardial fat volume (EFV) provides prognostic information with pericarditis.Purpose: To explore the predictive EFV for long-term outcome pericarditis.Materials methods: Fifty (n=50) first diagnosis were enrolled this...
