Journal of the American Heart Association

U/mL,P<0.001), and these levels correlated with HF severity (New York Heart Association cardiac function class). A high PKM2 level had a 1.913fold higher risk of the primary outcome (P=0.033) after adjusting for multiple cardiovascular risk factors, but not with cardiovascular death. versus 7.82.3

Micro and Nanoplastics and Cardiovascular Events – Recent Study

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Experimental studies have suggested that micro and nanoplastics promote oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in endothelial and other vascular cells which could lead to impairement in cardiac function, myocardial fibrosis and endothelial dysfunction [4]. Inflammatory biomarkers were also estimated. N Engl J Med.

Characterisation of patients who develop atrial fibrillation-induced cardiomyopathy

Open Heart

Detailed assessment of cardiac function after successful catheter ablation will reveal this. 32 (94.1%) demonstrated at least one, 17 (50.0%) having no cardiovascular risk factors. Discussion Abnormal structural, metabolic and HF biomarkers are seen in patients with AIC in sinus rhythm.
