Carbonylation of Runx2 at K176 by 4-Hydroxynonenal Accelerates Vascular Calcification

Circulation

The role of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), which is the most abundant stable product of lipid peroxidation, in vascular calcification has been poorly investigated.METHODS:Serum was collected from patients with chronic kidney disease and controls, and the levels of 4-HNE and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α were measured.

Protruding Aortic Plaque and Coronary Plaque Vulnerability

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundProtruding aortic plaque is known to be associated with an increased risk for future cardiac and cerebrovascular events. Coronary plaque characteristics were compared to evaluate coronary plaque vulnerability in patients with protruding aortic plaque on computed tomography angiography.

Association of body roundness index with abdominal aortic calcification among middle aged and elderly population: findings from NHANES

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Additionally, restricted cubic splines (RCS) analysis was also employed.ResultsWe found that those with AAC were significantly older and had a higher prevalence of smoking and chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence compared to those without AAC.

Development and validation of LCMM prediction algorithms to estimate recovery pattern of postoperative AKI in type A aortic dissection: a retrospective study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Binary logistic regression identified five critical determinants regarding poor renal recovery, including chronic kidney disease (CKD) history, renal hypoperfusion, circulation arrest time, intraoperative urine, and myoglobin. Among the PO-AKI cohort, the LCMM identified two distinct eGFR trajectories: early recovery (ER-AKI, 51.8%

Why the sudden shock after a few days of malaise?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Left ventricular afterload reduction is essential to decrease the trans-se ptal pressure gradient and thus decrease shunt volume, making a larger proportion of the blood flow from the left ventricle through the aortic valve. Surgical repair of the VSR was eventually done.

Prediction of In?Hospital Mortality for Ischemic Cardiogenic Shock Requiring Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Journal of the American Heart Association

Fifteen predictors were included for model development: age, diastolic blood pressure, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, peak lactic acid, serum creatinine, lowest left ventricular ejection fraction, vasoactive inotropic score, shock to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation insertion time, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, use of intra‐aortic (..)
