Circulating MicroRNAs and Monocyte-Platelet Aggregate Formation in Acute Coronary Syndrome
Original Research | By S Stojkovic, PP Wadowski, P Haider et al.
BACKGROUND - Monocyte-platelet aggregates (MPAs) are a sensitive marker of in vivo platelet activation in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and associated with clinical outcomes. MicroRNAs (miRs) play an important role in the regulation of platelet activation, and may influence MPA formation. Both, miRs and MPA, could be influenced by the type of P2Y12 inhibitor. AIM - To study the a...
Late kidney injury after transcatheter aortic valve replacement
Original Research | By Y Adachi, M Yamamoto, OCEAN-TAVI investigators et al.
BACKGROUND - Information on early to late-phase kidney damage in patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is scarce. We aimed to identify the predictive factors for late kidney injury (LKI) at 1-year and patient prognosis beyond 1-year after TAVR. METHODS - We retrospectively reviewed 1705 patients’ data from the Japanese TAVR multicenter registry. Acute kidney in...
