Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of inflammatory response to transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation compared to transapical and surgical procedures: a pilot study.
Barbara E. Stähli,Jürg Grünenfelder,Stephan Jacobs,Volkmar Falk,Ulf Landmesser,Manfred Wischnewsky,Thomas F. Lüscher,Roberto Corti,Willibald Maier,Lukas Altwegg +9 more
TL;DR: Higher hs-CRP levels and leukocyte counts following AVR and apical TAVI suggest less inflammation following femoral procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heart failure subgroups: HFrEF, HFmrEF, and HFpEF with or without mitral regurgitation.
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of functional mitral regurgitation in patients with chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was investigated using a double-blind, randomized, placebocontrolled trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-invasive screening for coronary artery disease in asymptomatic diabetic patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

TL;DR: Compared with the standard care, non-invasive CAD screening reduced cardiac events by 27% in asymptomatic diabetic patients, largely through reductions in non-fatal MIs, and HF hospitalisations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular biology of coronary bypass grafts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that vascular smooth muscle cells are primary regulators of local blood flow and contribute to proliferative responses in coronary bypass grafts, and that biologic properties of the endothelium and vascular smooth muscles significantly contribute to the function and patency of coronary bypass transplant grafts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The bumpy road to evidence: why many research findings are lost in translation
TL;DR: When, more than 2500 years ago, Thales of Milet claimed that nature was ruled by laws and not by gods, he changed the world and ever since then the understanding of nature has become a major activity of mankind.
