The pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) involves a central component of
chronic inflammation which is predominantly mediated by myeloid cells. We hypothesized …

Background Formation and rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is fatal, and the
pathological processes and molecular mechanisms underlying its formation and …

D-dimer and prothrombin fragment (F1+ 2) levels are elevated in patients with peripheral
artery disease (PAD). We examined their prognostic potential in predicting decreasing ABI …

Background—Currently, the relationship between circulating lipids and abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) is unclear. We conducted a lipidomic analysis to identify serum lipids …

Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life threatening cardiovascular medical emergency with a
poor prognosis. To explore the utility of D-dimers (DD) in the diagnosis of AAD, we …

Circulating markers relevant to the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are
currently required. Lipoprotein (a), Lp (a), is considered a candidate marker associated with …

Whether circulating biomarker levels increase shortly before an ischemic heart disease
(IHD) event is unknown. We studied whether levels of D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP) …

Background and aims Symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a risk factor for
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, data on the association of asymptomatic PAD …

Introduction: Clinical studies have unraveled a negative association between diabetes and
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), but the mechanisms involved are still poorly understood …

Background and aims: Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is an emergency disease with high
misdiagnosis rate and mortality. The aim of the present study is to explore the impact of …
