Major non-cardiac surgery is still associated with relevant cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. In Europe, in-hospital mortality exceeded 7% in patients with coronary artery disease and in those with congestive heart failure. Within 30 days of non-cardiac surgery procedures, 8% of patients will
The PARIS study aims to determine the correlation between AAA progression (growth or rupture) and the evolution of serum levels of proteases and cytokines over time. A repeated measures analysis will be done to use all longitudinal data available.
The Pearl AAA biobank will be established to enable
Sixteen patients will be included for the study under each intervention (surgery or endovascular coiling). Total thirty two patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited to the study. The patients will be randomized into four groups to receive Propofol (Group P), Isoflurane (Group I),
Atherothrombotic plaques of type 2 diabetic patients are characterized by increased neovascularization and associated intraplaque hemorrhage relative to non-diabetic patients that could account for a major incidence of clinical complications. In parallel, Type 2 diabetic patients are characterized
In the present study, the analysis of MMPs levels in plasma and tissues in patients with aneurysmal lesions identified several patterns of protease activity. Levels of both MMP-9 and NGAL were increased in aneurismal vessels, while the patterns of MMP-9 and NGAL expression was very high in all
Background
Coronary atherosclerosis is responsible for the initiation of acute myocardial infarction with plaque rupture leading to acute coronary thrombosis and myocardial infarction. Current treatment in the acute phase involves re-establishing vessel patency by percutaneous coronary intervention
Thrombin is the major protease in the coagulation cascade whose pleiotropic actions can ultimately lead to thrombosis and tissue injury. Thrombin is the key effector of the coagulation cascade and converts fibrinogen to fibrin which is essential for laying the mesh work for clot formation. Further,
What is the problem to be addressed? Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at increased risk of cardiovascular events. Indeed, ischemic heart disease is one of the leading causes of mortality and hospitalization among patients with mild to moderate COPD. For every 10%
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS), which include unstable angina and non-ST-elevation (non-STE) myocardial infarction, represent a serious clinical condition affecting over 1,000,000 people in the US alone. The combined rate of death and myocardial infarction (MI) in ACS patients is 8-15% after one
