The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1045-1058, April 2025.
Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

19. AORTIC DISTENSIBILITY IS MORE CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH CAROTID INTIMA MEDIA THICKNESS THAN AORTIC INTIMA-MEDIA THICKNESS IN THE PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC STROKE

Artery Research, 2009
Background: The aorta plays a central role for a modulator in whole cardiovascular system by its elasticity. If the elasticity was decreased, aortic distensibility was also decreased and stiffness index was elevated.

SPARCL1 and NT‐proBNP as biomarkers of right ventricular‐to‐pulmonary artery uncoupling in pulmonary hypertension

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1416-1426, April 2025.
Abstract Aims SPARCL1 was recently identified as a biomarker of right ventricular (RV) maladaptation in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic protein (NT‐proBNP) is an established biomarker of RV failure in PH. The present study investigated whether NT‐proBNP and SPARCL1 concentrations are associated with load ...

Aortic Stiffness in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2010
In the paper by Boonyasirinant et al. ([1][1]) in a recent issue of the Journal , there are serious problems in the use of pulse wave velocity (PWV) data as an index of aortic stiffness in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

4.7 THE EFFECT OF TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE IMPLANTATION ON AORTIC STIFFNESS AND HEMODYNAMICS

Artery Research, 2018
Purpose/Background/Objectives: Aortic stiffness and central hemodynamics are established vascular biomarkers. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a promising new technique for the treatment of aortic valve stenosis in elderly patients.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Shear Wave Elastography for the Assessment of Congestive Liver Disease in Patients With Structural Heart Disease

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Shear wave elastography demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy for detecting congestive liver disease in patients with structural heart disease. Increased liver stiffness was associated with echocardiographic markers of venous congestion, supporting the concept that elastography may serve as a noninvasive marker of cardiohepatic interaction ...
