Abstract
Classical risk factors play a major role in the initiation and development of atherosclerosis. However, the estimation of risk for cardiovascular events based only on risk factors is often insufficient. Efforts have been made to identify biomarkers that indicate ongoing atherosclerosis. Among important circulating biomarkers associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are inflammatory markers which are determined by the expression of different genes and epigenetic processes. Among these proinflammatory molecules, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, several adhesion molecules, CD40 ligand, osteoprotegerin and others are associated with the presence and progression of PAD. Additionally, several circulating prothrombotic markers have a predictive value in PAD. Genetic polymorphisms significantly, albeit moderately, affect risk factors for PAD via altered lipoprotein metabolism, diabetes, arterial hypertension, smoking, inflammation and thrombosis. However, most of the risk variants for PAD are located in noncoding regions of the genome and their influence on gene expression remains to be explored. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded, noncoding RNAs that modulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Patterns of miRNA expression, to some extent, vary in different atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. miRNAs appear to be useful in the detection of PAD and the prediction of progression and revascularization outcomes. In conclusion, taking into account one’s predisposition to PAD, i.e., DNA polymorphisms and miRNAs, together with circulating inflammatory and coagulation markers, holds promise for more accurate prediction models and personalized therapeutic options.

J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2022; 9:jcdd9100339. [PMID: 36286291 PMCID: PMC9604289 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd9100339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: Balancing anticoagulation and reoperation risks determines prostheses choice (mechanical/biological) for mitral valve replacement. We aimed to re-evaluate the outcomes after biological versus mechanical mitral valve replacement. Methods: We compared long-term benefits and risks of mechanical and biological prostheses in 2056 patients (52% men, 48% women; 65.4 ± 12.1 years) who underwent mitral valve replacements between 1993−2017, in a retrospective single-centre study. Data sources included prospective institutional database, social registry, general practitioner data and follow-up questionnaire. Patients were stratified by age: < = 39 y (n = 82), 40−49 y (n = 164), 50−59 y (n = 335), 60−69 y (n = 593), 70−79 y (n = 743) and > = 80 y (n = 139). Long-term outcomes (mortality, reoperations, bleeding) were analysed. Results: Altogether, 1308 mechanical (53% men, 47% women; 61.5 ± 11.7 years) and 748 biological (50% men, 50% women; 72.3 ± 9.6 years) valves were implanted. The reason for valve replacement was stenosis in 162, insufficiency in 823 and combined in 323 cases for mechanical, while it was 46, 567 and 135 for biological valves, respectively. Overall cumulative survival was higher with mechanical prosthesis (mean: 139 ± 4 vs. 102 ± 5 months, 10 y: 55% vs. 33%, p < 0.0001). Subgroup analysis revealed higher survival among patients receiving mechanical prosthesis up to 60 years (< = 39 y p = 0.047, 40−49 y p < 0.0001, 50−59 y p = 0.001). In patients 60−69 years, overall survival did not differ; however, in survivors beyond 8 years, mechanical prosthesis showed improved survival (p = 0.014). While between 70−79 years survival was nearly identical, for above 80 years, patients had a higher survival with biological prosthesis (p = 0.014). Conclusion: The present data demonstrated a higher survival of mechanical prosthesis in a wide range of patients after mitral valve replacement.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 230:113138. [PMID: 34995907 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.113138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 12/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Ticlopidine has inhibitory effects on platelet aggregation via ADP (adenosine diphosphate), platelet release reaction and depolymerization. In clinical practice, it is commonly used to prevent heart, cerebrovascular and other thromboembolic diseases. However, ticlopidine has also been reported to have teratogenic effects on the heart, though its specific molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, zebrafish embryos were used as model organisms to examine the toxicity effect of ticlopidine. Zebrafish embryos exposed to 6, 7.5, and 9 mg/L ticlopidine solutions manifested several abnormalities, including body curvature, smaller eyes, slower absorption of the vitella sac, pericardial edema, slower heart rate, increased mortality, longer venous sinus - arterial ball (SV-BA) distance, and increased oxidative stress, which indicated developmental and cardiac toxicity. Abnormal expression of key genes related to heart development was observed, and the level of apoptotic gene expression was up-regulated. Further experiments revealed up-regulation of embryonic oxidative stress following ticlopidine exposure, leading to a decrease in cardiomyocyte proliferation. Conversely, the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) inhibitor CH223191 protected embryos from the cardiotoxicity effect of ticlopidine, confirming further the role of up-regulated oxidative stress as the molecular mechanism of ticlopidine-induced cardiotoxicity in zebrafish. In conclusion, ticlopidine exposure leads to developmental and cardiotoxicity in zebrafish embryos. Therefore, further studies are warranted to ascertain such potential harms of ticlopidine in humans, which are vital in providing guidance in the safe use of drugs in clinical practice.

Abstract
Introduction: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A is a sought therapeutic target for PAD treatment because of its potent role in angiogenesis. However, no therapeutic benefit was achieved in VEGF-A clinical trials, suggesting that our understanding of VEGF-A biology and ischemic angiogenic processes needs development. Alternate splicing in VEGF-A produces pro- and anti-angiogenic VEGF-A isoforms; the only difference being a 6-amino acid switch in the C-terminus of the final 8th exon of the gene. This finding has changed our understanding of VEGF-A biology and may explain the lack of benefit in VEGF-A clinical trials. It presents new therapeutic opportunities for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) treatment.Areas covered: Literature search was conducted to include: 1) predicted mechanism by which the anti-angiogenic VEGF-A isoform would inhibit angiogenesis, 2) unexpected mechanism of action, and 3) how this mechanism revealed novel signaling pathways that may enhance future therapeutics in PAD.Expert opinion: Inhibiting a specific anti-angiogenic VEGF-A isoform in ischemic muscle promotes perfusion recovery in preclinical PAD. Additional efforts focused on the production of these isoforms, and the pathways altered by modulating different VEGF receptor-ligand interactions, and how this new data may allow bedside progress offers new approaches to PAD are discussed.I.

Abstract
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is one of the most frequent manifestations of atherosclerosis with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Platelets and coagulation are involved in the progression of atherosclerosis and thromboembolic complications. PAD patients have increased prothrombotic potential, which includes platelet hyperaggregability and increased pro-coagulant state. Therefore, antithrombotic treatment is of utmost importance for the prevention of cardiovascular events in this group of patients. Aspirin is the basic antiplatelet drug, but with limited efficacy in PAD. In contrast to coronary artery disease, its effect on the prevention of cardiovascular events in PAD has been limited proven. Particularly in asymptomatic PAD, there is no evidence for risk reduction with aspirin. Clopidogrel and ticagrelor are more effective than aspirin. Clopidogrel is thus an effective alternative to aspirin for prevention of cardiovascular events in symptomatic PAD. In patients who are non-responders to clopidogrel, ticagrelor is indicated. Dual antiplatelet treatment (DAPT) with aspirin and ticagrelor in patients with coronary artery disease and concomitant PAD significantly decreased the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events, including adverse limb events. However, in the CHARISMA Trial, aspirin and clopidogrel were not more effective than aspirin alone and increased bleeding complications. Therefore, DAPT seems effective only in PAD accompanied by coronary artery disease. Anticoagulant treatment for symptomatic PAD with vitamin K antagonists alone or in combination with aspirin is not more effective than single antiplatelet treatment but increases the rate of major bleeding. Low dose rivaroxaban combined with aspirin in PAD patients significantly reduces cardiovascular events, including limb-threatening ischemia and limb amputations. Anticoagulation and antiplatelet treatment after percutaneous or surgical revascularization of PAD improve the patency of treated vessels. Aspirin with or without dipyridamole improved patency of infra-inguinal by-pass grafts at one year. The combination of clopidogrel with aspirin was more effective than aspirin alone in the prevention of prosthetic graft occlusions in patients undergoing below-knee by-pass-grafting. Oral vitamin K antagonists were not more effective than aspirin in the prevention of infra-inguinal by-pass occlusion. The combination of low dose rivaroxaban and aspirin was effective in preventing major adverse cardiovascular events and adverse limb events after infrainguinal endovascular or surgical revascularization in patients with intermittent claudication. However, the data on antithrombotic treatment after revascularization for limb-threatening ischemia is scanty and inconclusive. In conclusion: Antithrombotic treatment of PAD is a cornerstone for the management of these patients. Antiplatelet drugs prevent the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and are effective also in the prevention of thromboembolic events. Simultaneous use of antiplatelet and anticoagulation drugs is accompanied by an increased risk of bleeding. However, combined treatment with aspirin and low-dose rivaroxaban is more effective than single antithrombotic treatment and safer than full-dose combined treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Antiplatelet drugs are essential in patients with cardiovascular disease who undergo stent placement. We hypothesized that risks of mortality would differ according to adherence to antiplatelet agents, number of antiplatelet agents, and antiplatelet regimens in patients undergoing stent placement or angioplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2002 and 2013, we initially enrolled 8671 subjects who underwent stent placement or angioplasty in the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort in Korea. Using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, the incidence of all-cause death, including cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and cancer, was defined. Using a nested case-control study design, controls were matched to cases at a ratio of 4:1, and a total of 5415 subjects were eligible for this study. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 3.51 years, the incidence rate of all-cause death was 40 per 1000 person-years. We found that adherence to antiplatelet monotherapy significantly decreased risk of death by cerebro-cardiovascular disease, compared with discontinuation of antiplatelets [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.41-0.96)]. Compared with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), aspirin and clopidogrel monotherapy significantly reduced death by cerebro-cardiovascular disease [adjusted OR 0.65, 95% CI (0.44-0.95) and adjusted OR 0.58, 95% CI (0.35-0.96), respectively]. There was no significant difference of mortality between aspirin monotherapy and clopidogrel monotherapy. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that adherence to antiplatelet therapy and antiplatelet monotherapy, compared with DAPT, in patients with stent placement or angioplasty may have a beneficial effect on mortality in cerebro-cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Symptomatic peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) involves highly complex and costly revascularisations for preventing adverse limb events and impaired survival. Contrary to recommendations from valid guidelines, a large group of patients do not receive adequate pharmacological therapy after such interventions. Based on health insurance claims data, our study aims to assess (1) the extent of provision of pharmacological therapy after revascularisation and (2) related long-term outcomes for all patients and subgroups, that is, gender and disease severity. METHODS A retrospective observational population-based cohort study will be based on data from the second largest statutory health insurance fund in Germany (BARMER) covering about 13% of the insured population (~10 million patients). Study entry is the index revascularisation for symptomatic PAOD. Study variables will be analysed and compared among subgroups using parametric and non-parametric tests, generalised linear regression analysis and survival models. DISCUSSION This study will provide a comprehensive insight in the extent and time trends of adequate provision of pharmacological therapy and long-term outcomes for patients with symptomatic PAOD. This may help to identify those patients benefiting most from improved pharmacological therapy for increasing the success of revascularisations in general. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT03909022.
