Arterial stiffness index as a marker for the occurrence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
مجلة كلية الطب, 2016 Background: Arterial functional changes reflected by vascular stiffness might occur at early stages of cardiovascular disease before the morphological alterations reflected by increasing the intima media thickness and it is widely used as a very ...

Dietary potassium regulates vascular calcification and arterial stiffness [PDF]
JCI Insight, 2017 Vascular calcification is a risk factor that predicts adverse cardiovascular complications of several diseases including atherosclerosis. Reduced dietary potassium intake has been linked to cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and incidental stroke, although the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Chamber‐specific decellularized extracellular matrices (ECMs) were developed, preserving native proteomic profiles of ventricular and atrial myocardium. These innate biochemical cues differentially modulate cardiomyocyte subtypes to drive engineered heart tissue development and function, highlighting the importance of incorporating regional ECM cues in

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Our coaxial electrospinning system is capable of incorporating decellularized myocardial extracellular matrix in a core‐sheath configuration, creating nanofibrous scaffolds. These scaffolds, in turn, support the maintenance of functional cardiomyocytes adhered to the surface of these bioactive scaffolds.

Vascular Stiffness and the “Chicken-or-the-Egg” Question [PDF]
Hypertension, 2008 Although the incidence of hypertension approaches 90% for people over the age of 70 years, the etiology of hypertension remains elusive for the vast majority. The complications of long-standing hypertension are well known and relate to arterial disease with clinical manifestations in the heart, brain, and kidney. However, the paradigm of elevated blood
