BACKGROUND Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a key regulator of endothelial barrier function and
vascular tone. Dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP3) is a protease involved in the degradation of …

Purpose The aim of this study was to analyse the course of adrenomedullin (ADM) and
endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in patients with vasodilatory shock after cardiac surgery and to …

Introduction Various clinical scores have been developed to predict organ dysfunction and
mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, but outcome prediction may be inaccurate …

Background: Open and endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair is related to
major complications and increased mortality rates. Up to now, specific biomarkers for …

Objectives Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) undergoing cardiac surgery on
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are at risk for systemic inflammation leading to endothelial …

Aims: Bioactive adrenomedullin (bio-ADM) was recently shown to be a prognostic marker in
patients with acute circulatory failure. We investigate the association of bio-ADM with organ …

Abstract Background The clinical CardShock risk score, including baseline lactate levels,
was recently shown to facilitate risk stratification in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS). As …

Purpose Adrenomedullin is released by different tissues in hypoxia, oxidative stress, and
inflammation and is found in general and medical patients and, recently, in sepsis patients in …

Background: Patients undergoing vascular surgery are prone to perioperative organ injury
because of both higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and the extent of surgery …

Cytokine-mediated systemic inflammation after open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm
(TAAA) repairs plays a pivotal role in disrupting circulatory homeostasis, potentially leading …
