Emricasan Ameliorates Portal Hypertension and Liver Fibrosis in Cirrhotic Rats Through a Hepatocyte‐Mediated Paracrine Mechanism

Hepatology Communications, 2019
In cirrhosis, liver microvascular dysfunction is a key factor increasing hepatic vascular resistance to portal blood flow, which leads to portal hypertension.

Evaluation of Hemodynamic Changes in Retrobulbar Blood Vessels Using Color Doppler Imaging in Diabetic Patients

Life, 2022
Background—Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of long-standing hyperglycemia. Microangiopathy-induced retinal changes are well-visualized on ophthalmoscopic examination. However, certain hemodynamic alterations have also been documented in the

New Rat Model of Advanced NASH Mimicking Pathophysiological Features and Transcriptomic Signature of The Human Disease

Cells, 2019
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a major cause of chronic liver disease. However, most available animal models fail to reflect the whole spectrum of the disease.

Higher plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 levels are associated with a higher risk profile in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary Circulation, 2019
Metabolic abnormalities are proposed to contribute to pulmonary arterial as well as right ventricular remodelling in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Among the proposed abnormalities are altered glucose and lipid processing, mitochondrial malfunction ...

ECMO-assisted resection of huge thoracic mass [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2018
Some advanced thoracic malignancy cannot be resected safely by using of conventional ventilation, so some sort of cardiopulmonary support is needed for hemodynamic and ventilation management of the patient. Using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

Late Diagnosis of Anomalous Aortic Origin of a Coronary Artery from the Inappropriate Sinus of Valsalva during Investigation of Chest Pain

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2018
In this work are reported two cases of anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA), with the left main coronary artery (LMCA) arising at the right sinus of Valsalva in a 77-year-old woman and in a 79-year-old man submitted to angiography after ...

Multi-Channel Bioimpedance System for Detecting Vascular Tone in Human Limbs: An Approach

Sensors, 2021
Vascular tone plays a vital role in regulating blood pressure and coronary circulation, and it determines the peripheral vascular resistance. Vascular tone is dually regulated by the perivascular nerves and the cells in the inside lining of blood vessels

The hemodynamics of counterpulsation

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1966
Summary and conclusions 1. Synchronized counterpulsation was applied to two groups of 9 dogs with the use of a new fluid-coupled pulse generator. Multiple measurements were made of central (cardiac) and peripheral hemodynamics. 2. The counterpulsation pump performance was superior to pneumatically coupled systems previously studied.

Matrix metalloproteinase 7 in diagnosis and differentiation of pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary Circulation, 2019
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a severe disease for which diagnosis often is delayed. Matrix metalloproteinases have been suggested to play a role in vascular remodeling and pulmonary hypertension development. Our aim was therefore to investigate the

Impact of Chronic Kidney Disease on the Coronary Revascularization Guided by Intracoronary Physiology: Results of the First Registry with Long-Term Follow-Up in a Latin American Population

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
The use of invasive physiology methods in patients with renal dysfunction is not well elucidated. Our objective was to evaluate the in-hospital and long-term results of using intracoronary physiology to guide revascularization in patients with chronic ...
