Excessive platelet activation after atherosclerotic plaque rupture or endothelial cell erosion may also lead to the formation of occlusive thrombi, which are responsible for acute ischemic events. Multiple pathways are involved in platelet activation, including those activated by adenosine diphosphate (ADP), thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)), serotonin, collagen, and thrombin. Antiplatelet agents used for prevention of atherothrombosis have focused on blocking the formation of TXA(2) (eg, aspirin) and interfering with ADP stimulation mediated by the P2Y(12) receptor (eg, clopidogrel). These agents, used alone or in combination, significantly decr...

However, the lipid content on IB-IVUS was also significantly affected by vessel size. Therefore, qualitative, morphologic assessment of coronary plaque rather than simple quantitative analysis of tissue components seems to be more appropriate for the identification of vulnerable plaque using IB-IVUS.

Accumulating evidence in recent years has demonstrated a physiological and pathological role of ACE2 in the cardiovascular, renal and respiratory systems. For instance, in the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), ACE, AngII, and AT1R promote the disease pathogenesis, whereas ACE2 and the AT2R protect from ARDS. Importantly, ACE2 has been identified as a key SARS-coronavirus receptor and plays a protective role in SARS pathogenesis. Furthermore, the recent explosion of research into the ACE2 homolog, collectrin, has revealed a new physiological function of ACE2 as an amino acid transporter,...

Hyperpolarization reduces the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels and thereby the stimulus for contraction of these resistance vessels. The stimulus for smooth muscle cell (SMC) hyperpolarization can occur directly via opening K(+)-channels expressed within those cells, but can also occur in response to stimulation of endothelial cells (ECs). This endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization (EDH) of smooth muscle often occurs in response to agonists that stimulate a rise in the Ca(2+) concentration of ECs, which in turn can open Ca(2+)-activated K-channels to hyperpolarize the ECs, and if present, pa...

Experimental studies have demonstrated that an inflammatory subset of monocytes/macrophages preferentially accumulate in atherosclerotic plaque and produce proinflammatory cytokines. T lymphocytes can contribute to inflammatory processes that promote thrombosis by stimulating production of collagen-degrading proteinases and the potent procoagulant tissue factor. Recent data link obesity, inflammation, and modifiers of atherosclerotic events, a nexus of growing clinical concern given the worldwide increase in the prevalence of obesity. Modulators of inflammation derived from visceral adipose tissue evoke production of acute phase reactants in the liver, ...

Since the discovery of a pacemaker current (I(f) ) in 1978, multiple studies have shown that rhythmic changes in membrane voltage (the "membrane voltage clock") underlie the mechanisms of automaticity. The I(f) is a depolarization current activated during hyperpolarization. Therefore, when the cardiac cells recover, the I(f) is activated and slowly depolarizes the cell membrane, leading to the onset of action potential. Recent studies, however, suggest that increased intracellular Ca (Ca(i)) induced by spontaneous rhythmic sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca release (th...

Tissue factor (TF), the key initiator of the coagulation cascade, binds to factor VIIa and thereby activates factor IX and factor X, resulting in thrombus formation. Different stimuli enhance TF gene expression in endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells. In addition to these vascular cells, TF has recently been detected in the bloodstream in circulating cells such as leukocytes and platelets, as a component of microparticles, and as a soluble, alternatively spliced form of TF.

These new modalities have both advantages and disadvantages concerning radiation exposure, the use of contrast medium, ability of visualizing heavily calcified artery lumens, and spatial and temporal resolution. However, these modalities only provide anatomical information of the coronary artery. Functional assessment of the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is essential for the management of patients with known or suspected CAD in practical clinical settings.

Catheter ablation of AF has emerged as an important management choice for drug-refractory symptomatic paroxysmal or persistent AF. Three-dimensional (3D) electroanatomic mapping systems were introduced into catheter ablation of AF more than a decade ago. The 3D tool has the benefit of reducing the radiation exposure time, as well as voltage and fractionation mapping in order to identify the critical substrate during the ablation, prevent the formation of gaps, guide the ablation of post-ablation atrial tachycardia or flutter, and integrate images to improve the safety and long-term success rate.

The therapeutic efficacy of these 2 classes of progenitor cells depends on their ability to (1)survive in the hostile milieu of the damaged heart, (2)engraft within the myocardium and (3)grow and differentiate.

The vascular endothelium regulates the vascular tone, hemostasis and/or vascular permeability, and the media is the major determinant of arterial elasticity, which regulates the conduit function (delivery of blood to tissues) and cushioning effect (for generation of continuous blood flow). Failure of these functions results in organ/vascular damage.

Beneficial effects of cell therapy have been shown in experimental studies and clinical trials. However, with current treatment strategies the therapeutic effect is limited. In the current article, critical aspects of cell therapy are discussed: cell type, the state of ischemic heart disease and the condition of cells at the time of treatment.

The vascular network is established during embryogenesis to supply oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and organs. However, after cardiac or peripheral ischemia is caused by occlusion of the vessels, new vessels must be formed to rescue the ischemic tissues. Many angiogenic growth factors and chemokines are produced in the ischemic tissue to induce angiogenic sprouting of preexisting vessels. Branched vessels must be again restabilized to form mature vessels that deliver blood to the tissues. To this end, vascular EC-cell adhesion is tightly regulated by cell-cell adhesion molecules and extracellular stimuli that activate G protein-coupled receptors an...

The adult myocyte, however, is a terminal cell; usually it is unable to reproduce and death is not genetically programmed (apoptosis), but occurs by necrosis. The reinstatement of apoptosis and development of hypertrophy during remodeling could be part of the switch forward to the embryonic phenotype with reinstatement of the early embryonic genetic program. Hypertrophy and apoptosis are "sons" of the same "mother": the local, tissue neuroendocrine-neurohumoral response to a mechanical stretch of the...

Circ J. 2009 Oct 5; Authors: Ogura S, Kakino A, Sato Y, Fujita Y, Iwamoto S, Otsui K, Yoshimoto R, Sawamura T Oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction is the initial change in the vascular wall that induces morphological changes for atheroma-formation. Lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) was identified as the receptor for oxLDL that was thought to be a major cause of endothelial dysfunction. LOX-1 has been demonstrated to contribute not only to endothelial dysfunction, but also to atherosclerotic-plaque formation, myocardial infarction and intimal thickening after balloon injury. Recent findings on the genetics of LOX-1 and the methodology to detect it and its ligands would ...

Abnormal EC responses to shear stress impair various vascular functions and lead to vascular diseases, including hypertension, thrombosis, and atherosclerosis. Bioengineering approaches in which cultured ECs are subjected to shear stress in fluid-dynamically designed flow-loading devices have been widely used to analyze EC responses at the cellular and molecular levels. Remarkable progress has been made, and the results have shown that ECs alter their morphology, function, and gene expression in response to shear stress. Shear stress affects im...

A great deal of research has been dedicated to investigating and identifying plaque instability: the so-called "vulnerable plaque". A reliable, in vivo, imaging method capable of identifying plaque characteristics associated with high-risk plaque will be immensely useful for evaluating plaque status and predicting future events. With excellent soft-tissue contrast and resolution, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the ability to visualize features of vulnerable plaques, as well as perform longitudinal studies on the etiology, progression, and regression of atherosclero...

However, in the present study, the incidence of combined vascular and bleeding complications was lower with the TRA than with the TFA approach.
