Journal ArticleDOI
Endothelial dysfunction and damage in congestive heart failure: relation of flow-mediated dilation to circulating endothelial cells, plasma indexes of endothelial damage, and brain natriuretic peptide.
Aun-Yeong Chong,Andrew D. Blann,Jeetesh V. Patel,Bethan Freestone,Elizabeth A. Hughes,Gregory Y.H. Lip +5 more
TL;DR: Ample evidence of endothelial cell damage/dysfunction in CHF cannot be fully explained by the variance in plasma BNP per se, and the routes by which these indexes influence the pathophysiology of CHF as well as predict adverse outcomes may be independent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allograft Vasculopathy: The Achilles’ Heel of Heart Transplantation
TL;DR: Treatment approaches continue to evolve, but prevention remains the focus, and newer mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors can significantly delay the progression of CAV; however, their optimal use remains to be established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2, and angiopoietin receptor tie-2 levels in congestive heart failure
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested the hypothesis that plasma angiopoietin (Ang-1), its soluble receptor tie-2, and Ang-2 levels would be abnormal in patients with acute and chronic congestive heart failure (CHF) when compared with healthy controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, Angiopoietin-1, and Angiopoietin-2 in Diabetes: Implications for cardiovascular risk and effects of multifactorial intervention
TL;DR: Plasma Ang-2 (but not Ang-1), like VEGF levels, are selectively elevated in patients with diabetes and are associated with indexes of endothelial damage/dysfunction, regardless of vascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endothelial Activation, Dysfunction, and Damage in Congestive Heart Failure and the Relation to Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Outcomes
Aun-Yeong Chong,Bethan Freestone,Jeetesh V. Patel,Hoong Sern Lim,Elizabeth A. Hughes,Andrew D. Blann,Gregory Y.H. Lip +6 more
TL;DR: Despite similar ejection fractions, patients with acute and chronic CHF have different degrees of endothelial damage/dysfunction and activation, which may be related to differences in pathophysiology.
