HF decompensation is characterized by increased left atrial pressure (LAP) causing symptomatic pulmonary congestion and frank edema. 2 The possible precipitants for acute HF are numerous, but they ...

Background—Although frequently assessed in trials and clinical practice, hemodynamic response to therapy has never been validated as a surrogate end point for clinical events in pulmonary arterial hy ...

The origin and pathophysiology of CVT in the pediatric population is still poorly understood, mainly because of its low incidence, which is estimated at 0.67 per 100 000 children. 1 The disease is ...

Conclusions: Together, these data identify a novel role for EphA2 in atherosclerosis, regulating both plaque inflammation and progression to advanced atherosclerotic lesions. Cell culture studies ...

Conclusions: In mice, the adverse effects of transfusion with SRBCs after hemorrhagic shock are ameliorated by treatment with either haptoglobin or hemopexin. Haptoglobin infusion prevents kidney ...

Methods and Results— Using a modification of a previously validated risk prediction model based on routine clinical variables, we examined the relationship between baseline predicted mortality risk ...

The mechanisms of human atrial fibrillation (AF) are poorly understood. 1,2 Experimental studies have demonstrated that cholinergic AF is maintained by high-frequency reentrant sources (drivers) that ...

Methods and Results The sample included 736 patients admitted to 4 ED s with symptoms suggestive of ACS. Symptoms were assessed with the 13‐item validated ACS Symptom Checklist. Mixed‐effects logistic ...

Introduction The past several decades have seen a dramatic reduction in mortality from stroke and coronary heart disease in many countries. 1, 2 Elevated blood pressure (BP) is a major established ...

Atherosclerosis remains a major health problem in the United States, with significant morbidity and an estimated annual mortality of 500 000 deaths from coronary artery disease alone. 1 The lesions in ...
