Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious and life-threatening condition for which the prognosis remains poor. Treatment options include endothelial receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase (PDE5) inhibitors and prostanoids. Despite all demonstrating good short-term efficacy, none of the currently available drug therapies are curative. Treatment with prostanoids is complex and…

Progressive thickening of the aortic valve leaflets and narrowing of the aortic annulus leads to increased mechanical stress on the left ventricle and reduces cardiac output, resulting in further complications.1–3 The proportion of the population affected increases as the median age of a country or region rises. Approximately 2–4 % of people aged over 65 will develop calcific aortic stenosis,…

Background: Bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, RYGB) reduces cardiovascular mortality and improves HDL-mediated vasoprotection. Bile acids (BA) are emerging as signalling molecules controlling cardiometabolic health. Plasmatic BA circulate partly bound to HDL.
Purpose: We tested whether and how changes in composition of BA bound to HDL (HDL-BA) after RYGB contribute to HDL-mediated…

Topic: 3. Heart Failure and Cardiomyopathy
Introduction and Objectives
Maladaptive hypertrophy is being recognized as a critical event during the development of heart failure. In a previous study, we demonstrated that a natural compound, curcumin, prevented cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and the development of heart failure in two different model animals.1–4 Recently, we screened a natural…
