    Causes and impact on survival of underuse of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers in heart failure

    Guidelines recommend angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) for treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), but these medications are ...

    An increase in myocardial 18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake is associated with left ventricular ejection fraction decline in Hodgkin lymphoma patients treated with anthracycline

    Doxorubicin (DOX)-based chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) yields excellent disease-free survival, but poses a substantial risk of subsequent left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and heart failure, typically ...

    Soluble form of the endothelial adhesion molecule CD146 binds preferentially CD16+ monocytes

    The cell adhesion molecule CD146 is normally located at the endothelial cell-to-cell junction and colocalizes with actin cytoskeleton. The soluble form of CD146 (sCD146) has been identified in the endothelial ...

    Direct relationship between cell density and FDG uptake in asymptomatic aortic aneurysm close to surgical threshold: an in vivo and in vitro study

    Conflicting results have been reported about the clinical value of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) imaging in predicting the risk of rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The present study tests the hypothesis ...
