Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary α-linolenic acid increases the platelet count in ApoE-/- mice by reducing clearance.

TL;DR: Dietary ALA increased the platelet count by reducing platelet clearance in the reticulo-endothelial system and appears to be mediated by reduced cleavage of GPIb by tumor necrosis factor-α-converting enzyme and reduced platelet activation/expression of procoagulant signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

The spectrum of renovascular hypertension.

TL;DR: In very few cases malformations of the renal arteries or generalized diseases may cause renovascular hypertension.
Journal Article

Prosthesis-Specific Predictors of Paravalvular Regurgitation after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Impact of Calcification and Sizing on Balloon-Expandable versus Self-Expandable Transcatheter Heart Valves.

TL;DR: For self-expandable THVs, aortic valve calcification mass was the strongest predictor of PAR, whereas for balloon-expanding THVs it was prosthesis undersizing, and in patients evaluated for TAVR these parameters should guide the selection of prosthesis type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrate induced coronary vasodilatation: differential effects of sublingual application by capsule or spray

TL;DR: Sublingual ISDN spray may be more efficacious than sublingual GTN capsules in certain patients with anginal attacks and should be preferred over capsules in coronary angiographic procedures.
