Natural History Of Syphilitic Aortitis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
No large studies of cardiovascular syphilis at necropsy have been reported since 1964. We examined at necropsy 90 patients who had characteristic morphologic findings of syphilitic aortitis. None had ever undergone cardiovascular surgery.

Understanding pre‐eclampsia and fetal growth restriction at high altitude: A narrative review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Pre‐eclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) are among the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Both conditions are more frequent and severe at high altitudes due to physiological changes in oxygen availability and vascular adaptation.

11.7 AORTIC CALCIUM SCORE AFFECTS NON-INVASIVELY OBTAINED ESTIMATES OF CENTRAL BLOOD PRESSURE IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

open access: yesArtery Research, 2016
Background: We recently reported that central blood pressure (BP) obtained non-invasively in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients significantly underestimated the central BP with decreasing eGFR in comparison with invasively measured true central BP in ...

Responses to stimulation of coronary and carotid baroreceptors and the coronary chemoreflex at different ventricular distending pressures in anaesthetised dogs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Stimulation of left ventricular mechanoreceptors was believed not only to exert important effects on the circulation, but also to influence the responses to baroreceptor reflexes.

Exploring the Link Between Psoriasis and Genetic Predictors of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Traits: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by systemic inflammation and skin involvement, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. However, few studies have evaluated whether psoriasis and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) traits share a common genetic basis.

Motion Mitigation Techniques for Abdominal and Cardiac MR Imaging

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MRI of the heart and abdominal organs provides unparalleled soft tissue contrast and quantitative biomarkers, yet remains highly susceptible to physiological motion. Contractions of the myocardium, respiratory excursions, peristalsis, vascular pulsatility, and unpredictable bulk patient movement generate artifacts that impair image quality ...

Computational simulations demonstrate altered wall shear stress in aortic coarctation patients previously treated by resection with end-to-end anastomosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background.  Atherosclerotic plaque in the descending thoracic aorta (dAo) is related to altered wall shear stress (WSS) for normal patients. Resection with end-to-end anastomosis (RWEA) is the gold standard for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) repair, but

Circadian Immunity and Vascular Inflammation in Cardiovascular Disease Chronotherapy Windows: Time for a Re‐Assessment

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythms orchestrate cardiovascular physiology by regulating immune and inflammatory pathways. Disruption of these rhythms profoundly alters vascular homeostasis, thereby promoting the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

A case of a highly tortuous descending thoracic aortic aneurysm treated by surgical exclusion

open access: yesSAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2020
The patient was a 76-year-old woman with an atypical descending thoracic aortic aneurysm due to a highly tortuous descending aorta. The surgical approach in this case required special consideration because of the aneurysm’s location. The main body of the
