Circulating angiotensin-converting enzyme levels are associated with left ventricular dysfunction, but not with central aortic blood pressure, aortic augmentation or pulse pressure amplification

open access: yes, 2011
Aim: This study aimed to explore the link between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), and left ventricular (LV) function and central hemodynamics. Methods and Results: The study population consisted of 672 subjects (322 men and 350 women) aged 69-87 ...

Balloon‐Stopper Retrieval and Peripheral Parking After Inadvertent Ostial Right Coronary Stent Deployment

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Percutaneous treatment of right coronary artery (RCA) ostial lesions is technically challenging due to cardiorespiratory motion. Case Summary We describe a 70‐year‐old man undergoing PCI for an ostial RCA lesion where a forceful cough caused complete stent expansion within the aortic root.

Trans‐Patch Retrograde Re‐Entry During Hybrid Revascularization of an External Iliac Artery Chronic Total Occlusion: A Technical Note and Review of Re‐Entry Strategies

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Failure of true‐lumen re‐entry after subintimal wire passage is a well‐recognized limitation of endovascular treatment for external iliac artery (EIA) chronic total occlusions (CTO). We report a 73‐year‐old woman with severe limb ischemia and a prior failed endovascular attempt who underwent hybrid left common femoral artery (CFA ...

Feasibility of a beat-by-beat finger photoplethysmograph device for estimating central (aortic) blood pressure waveform characteristics

open access: yes
Central blood pressure can be estimated non-invasively using radial applanation tonometry. However, the stability and accuracy of applanation tonometry signals is operator-dependent.

Increased Insulin Action, Glucose Metabolism and Muscle Function in Supervillin‐Knockout and Supervillin‐Mutant Mice

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...

Loss of POGLUT2/3‐mediated O‐glucosylation produces lung and aortic phenotypes reminiscent of fibrillin1 mutants

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fibrillins provide a scaffold for elastic fiber formation, which enables lung recoil and aortic compliance. Abnormal fibrillin microfibrils, as in Marfan syndrome, lead to enlarged alveoli, vascular stiffening, and aneurysms. Our earlier studies suggested that fibrillin function depends on O‐glucosylation of its epidermal growth ...

Hemodynamic loading regulates formation and patterning of atrial pectinate muscles in the chick embryo

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Development and differentiation of the atrial myocardium. Hemodynamic loading triggers shear stress response, which is essential for pectinate muscle formation; mechanical stretching is important for the expression of chamber myocardium markers and proper maturation of the atrial contractile and conductive properties.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...
