Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

Coronary CT angiography: current status and continuing challenges

, 2012
Coronary CT angiography has been increasingly used in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease owing to rapid technological developments, which are reflected in the improved spatial and temporal resolution of the images. High diagnostic accuracy has been

[Coronary CT-angiography].

Tidsskrift for den Norske laegeforening : tidsskrift for praktisk medicin, ny raekke, 2008
Recent advances in computed tomography (CT) has made noninvasive imaging of the coronary arteries possible. Multidetector-CT (MDCT)-scanners capable of visualizing the coronary arteries will be available in most Norwegian hospitals within a few years. If the examinations have acceptable quality, diagnostics of coronary pathology could to some extent be

Prognostic Value of Coronary CT Angiography

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2013
We read with interest the paper from Andreini et al. ([1][1]) that provided more evidence on the prognostic value of cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) in patients referred for evaluation of possible coronary artery disease (CAD), an area of research in need of long term follow up ...

Successful Percutaneous Retrieval of an Embolized MitraClip From the Right Subclavian Artery

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 108, Issue 5, Page 1962-1964, November 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Single leaflet device attachment (SLDA) after mitral transcatheter valve edge‐to‐edge repair (M‐TEER) has been reported in up to 5% of patients. However, complete embolization of the M‐TEER device is exceedingly rare. Device retrievals in all previously reported cases were completed by vascular surgery cut down at the end. In this case, we are

Multi-Detector Coronary CT Imaging for the Identification of Coronary Artery Stenoses in a “Real-World” Population [PDF]

, 2014
Background Multi-detector computed tomography (CT) has emerged as a modality for the non-invasive assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD). Prior studies have selected patients for evaluation and have excluded many of the “real-world” patients ...

Coronary cross-sectional area stenosis severity determined using coronary CT highly correlated with coronary functional flow reserve: a pilot study

Scientific Reports
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for assessing the physiological significance of coronary stenosis. We examined the potential correlation between digitally measured coronary cross-sectional area stenosis using coronary computed ...

Feasibility and Procedural Considerations of Balloon‐Expandable TAVR in Patients With Prior Endovascular Aortic Stent Grafts

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 108, Issue 5, Page 1993-1999, November 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the feasibility and short‐term outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using balloon‐expandable Sapien valves in patients with prior endovascular aortic stent grafts. Methods We conducted a single‐center, retrospective study of 23 patients with prior endovascular aortic stent grafts who underwent TAVR ...

Severe Plasmodium vivax Malaria Presenting With Circulatory Shock and Coagulation Abnormalities: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Severe Plasmodium vivax malaria may cause vasopressor‐requiring shock, profound thrombocytopenia, jaundice, coagulation activation, and transient cardiopulmonary abnormalities. Early parasite confirmation and close monitoring for evolving organ dysfunction are essential.
