Reference values of aortic pulse wave velocity in the elderly.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Increased aortic pulse wave velocity (AoPWV) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There are, however, no generally accepted limits for defining the normal or reference values. The aim of the present ... Read more...

Switch of immunosuppression from cyclosporine A to everolimus: impact on pulse wave velocity in stable de-novo renal allograft recipients.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular mortality is extraordinarily high in renal allograft recipients and accounts for almost half of all allograft losses. Whereas the immunosuppression with calcineurin inhibitors is associated with an increased ... Read more...

Interactions between stainless steel, shear stress, and monocytes.

29 Sep 2008 Angioplasty with stent placement is commonly used to treat coronary atherosclerosis. However, 20-40% of stainless steel stents restenose within 6 months via a prolonged inflammatory response mediated by monocytic infiltration and cytokine ... Read more...
