TL;DR: Clinical implications entail that CgA and its derived peptides are now used as diagnostic and prognostic markers or to monitor the response to pharmacological intervention not only in endocrine tumors, but also in cardiovascular, inflammatory, and neuropsychiatric diseases.

TL;DR: The depression-related dysfunctions in the ANS and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis seem to play a major role, promoting chronic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and platelet activation and aggregation, which in turn are key steps in the development of atherosclerosis and its complications.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the p22phox C242T polymorphism and CV function in amateur runners.

TL;DR: Patients with MVP and significant MR may benefit in valve myxomatous degeneration and LV systolic function from ARB therapy, probably due to its ability to inhibit TGF- b signalling.

TL;DR: Nordic walking increases the level of circulating VEGF more than does traditional walking when the intensity of training is equivalent, implying that the effects are peculiar owing to the involvement of more muscle groups in traditional walking training.
