Cystatin C as Biomarker for the Evaluation of Renal Outcome in AL Amyloidosis

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cystatin C (CysC) has emerged as a novel and potentially more reliable biomarker for the estimation of glomerular filtration in the general population in patients with various conditions. In AL amyloidosis, the current renal staging system and renal response criteria are based on proteinuria and creatinine‐based eGFR.

Activin A‐activated ALK4 induces pathogenic Th17 involved endothelial–mesenchymal transition in systemic lupus erythematosus‐associated pulmonary arterial hypertension

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), are associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition that can lead to heart failure. However, whether T cells also contribute to the occurrence of PAH in SLE, has not been clarified.

N-Terminal Pro-brain Natriuretic Peptide Is Associated With Hemorrhagic Transformation and Poor Outcomes in Patients With Stroke Treated With Intravenous Thrombolysis

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
Background: N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels are a promising biomarker for predicting stroke outcomes; however, their prognostic validity is not well-understood in patients who have undergone intravenous thrombolysis.

Increased Thrombogenicity is Associated With Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Patients With STEMI—A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Up to 50% of patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) develop coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Aims This study aims to assess whether a prothrombotic state of coronary blood, defined by thromboelastography (TEG), is associated with post ...

Brain natriuretic peptide and NT-proBNP levels reflect pulmonary artery systolic pressure in trekkers at high altitude. [PDF]

, 2013
Our objective was to evaluate the utility of the natriuretic peptides BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) and NT-proBNP as markers of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) in trekkers ascending to high altitude (HA). 20 participants had BNP and NT-proBNP

A Case Series of Valve‐in‐Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Stentless Bioprosthetic Valves Using Self‐Expanding Platform With Minimalist Approach

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Valve‐in‐valve (ViV) Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a valid treatment option in symptomatic patients with failed aortic bioprosthetic valves, most especially in those with intermediate, high or prohibitive risk of surgery. Due to the unique design of stentless bioprosthetic valves with absence of visible posts and

Prophylactic IABP Use in Protected PCI Reduces Infarction Size and Leads to More Complete Revascularization in Comparison to Rescue IAPB Use

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is little data questioning the timing of intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation in non‐cardiogenic shock patients undergoing high‐risk percutaneous procedures. Aims We compared prophylactic IABP (P‐IABP) implantation to an emergent, unplanned rescue use (R‐IABP) in high‐risk PCI. Methods Among 300 IAPB patients who were

The use of NT-proBNP in clinical practice [PDF]

South African Family Practice, 2004
Early detection of heart failure and the accurate diagnosis of heart failure remains a huge clinical challenge to family practitioners. ECGs and chest x-rays merely serve as baseline investigations and the diagnosis is eventually only confirmed by a two-dimensional echocardiogram coupled with Doppler-flow studies.
