Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

“Bendy” stents help negotiate hairpin intracardiac curves [PDF]
, 2015 Simple transposition of the great arteries (TGA) occurs in 0.2 per 1000 live births. The condition is surgically repaired in the neonatal period by the arterial switch procedure (ASO) sometimes preceded by an atrial septostomy.

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.Objectives The femoropopliteal (FP) artery is the most frequently revascularized segment in peripheral artery disease (PAD), followed by the iliac segment. Wall shear stress (WSS) is a key local factor implicated in both atherosclerotic plaque formation and restenosis after angioplasty.

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an effective treatment for carotid stenosis. Proton‐pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed in the general population. However, the impact of PPI use on outcomes following CAS remains unknown. This study investigated the impact of PPI use on CAS using a retrospective, matched‐cohort analysis from the ...

Respirology, EarlyView.Pulmonary arterial baroreceptors reflexively stimulate sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) in response to elevated pulmonary artery pressure and distension. In pulmonary hypertension patients, changes in muscle SNA were proportional to changes in pulmonary haemodynamics following nebulised iloprost.

Feasibility and performance of a device for automatic self-detection of symptomatic acute coronary artery occlusion in outpatients with coronary artery disease : a multicentre observational study [PDF]
, 2019 Background Time delay between onset of symptoms and seeking medical attention is a major determinant of mortality and morbidity in patients with acute coronary artery occlusion. Response time might be reduced by reliable self-detection.
