Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Repair Capacity of the Vascular Endothelium in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

TL;DR: OSA directly affects the vascular endothelium by promoting inflammation and oxidative stress while decreasing NO availability and repair capacity and effective CPAP therapy is associated with the reversal of these alterations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a novel echocardiography ramp test for speed optimization and diagnosis of device thrombosis in continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices: the Columbia ramp study.

TL;DR: A unique ramp test protocol to be routinely used at the time of discharge for speed optimization and/or if device malfunction was suspected and may be used to monitor the effects of therapeutic interventions and need for surgical intervention in CF-LVAD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alloantigen specific CD8+CD28- FOXP3+ T suppressor cells induce ILT3+ ILT4+ tolerogenic endothelial cells, inhibiting alloreactivity.

TL;DR: Using RT-PCR, it is shown that alloantigen specific CD8(+)CD28(-) T suppressor cells generated in vitro are FOXP3 positive and interact with human endothelial cells, which results in the induction of inhibitory receptors and down-regulation of costimulatory and adhesion molecules, thus rendering endothelial Cells tolerogenic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of de novo aortic insufficiency during long-term support with left ventricular assist devices

TL;DR: Aortic insufficiency occurs frequently in patients who receive continuous-flow support with a HMII LVAD, and may be associated with aortic root diameter enlargement and aortsic valve opening.
