Predictors of Hemodynamic Improvement and Stabilization Following Intraaortic Balloon Pump Implantation in Patients With Advanced Heart Failure KU Leuven

Teruhiko Imamura, Colleen Juricek, Ann Nguyen, Ben Chung, Daniel Rodgers, Gabriel Sayer, Nitasha Sarswat, Gene Kim, Jayant Raikhelkar, Takeyoshi Ota, et al.
OBJECTIVES: The intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) is currently an essential tool to improve hemodynamics in patients with advanced heart failure (HF). This study investigated predictors for hemodynamic improvement or stabilization with IABP therapy in patients with advanced HF. METHODS: Patients with advanced HF and hemodynamic deterioration treated with IABP were enrolled in this retrospective study. Invasive hemodynamics were measured before ...

Exosomes: emerging roles in communication between blood cells and vascular tissues during atherosclerosis KU Leuven

Heinrich Huber, Paul Holvoet
Microvesicles, in general, and exosomes together with their delivered content in particular, are now being widely recognized as key players in atherosclerosis. We have previously reviewed the role of microvesicles in atherosclerosis pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapy. Here, we focus on the roles of exosomes and discuss their emergent role in mediating activation and response to inflammation, vessel infiltration and induction of coagulation. We ...
