THE CONDITION OF DISTAL AORTA AFTER PROXIMAL RECONSTRUCTION FOR DISSECTION IN MARFAN SYNDROME
Marfan syndrome is a disease associated with high prevalence of aorta-related morbidity and mortality. Dissections and ruptures of thoracal aorta (ThAo) lead to decreased life duration in persons with Marfan syndrome with mediana at 30 year-old.Aim.

S-nitrosylation of AMPKγ impairs coronary collateral circulation and disrupts VSMC reprogramming
Collateral circulation is essential for blood resupply to the ischemic heart, which is dictated by the contractile phenotypic restoration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Here we investigate whether S-nitrosylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (

Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism does not influence the restenosis rate after coronary stent implantation [PDF]
Background. Experimental studies have shown an activation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) system as a response to endothelial injury. Recent publications have elucidated the hypothesis that the ACE gene polymorphism may influence the level of ...

Determination of Pericardial Adipose Tissue Increases the Prognostic Accuracy of Coronary Artery Calcification for Future Cardiovascular Events [PDF]
Objectives: Pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is associated with coronary artery plaque accumulation and the incidence of coronary heart disease. We evaluated the possible incremental prognostic value of PAT for future cardiovascular events.
