Modulation of Pulsatile Left Ventricular Afterload by Renal Denervation in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Background:Arterial stiffening contributes to hemodynamic derangements in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We sought to investigate the impact of renal denervation on pulsatile left ventricular loading in patients with HFpEF and hype ...

Data-driven approaches for non-invasive cuffless blood pressure monitoring

Clémentine Léa Aguet

Blood pressure (BP) is a crucial indicator of cardiovascular health. Hypertension is a common life-threatening condition and a key factor of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Identifying abnormal BP fluctuations can allow for early detection and management o ...

Total arterial compliance, estimated by a novel method, is better related to left ventricular mass compared to aortic pulse wave velocity: The SAFAR study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Aim: The investigation of the association between total arterial compliance (C-T)-estimated by a novel technique-with left ventricular mass (LVM) and hypertrophy (LVH). Our hypothesis was that C-T may be better related to LVM compared to the gold-standard ...

Antihypertensive drugs metabolism: an update to pharmacokinetic profiles and computational approaches

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Aikaterini Zisaki

Drug discovery and development is a high-risk enterprise that requires significant investments in capital, time and scientific expertise. The studies of xenobiotic metabolism remain as one of the main topics in the research and development of drugs, cosmet ...

A Robotic System for Quantitative Assessment and Poststroke Training of Forelimb Retraction in Mice

Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai, Marco Mainardi

Background. Neurorehabilitation protocols based on the use of robotic devices have recently shown to provide promising clinical results. However, their efficacy is still limited because of the poor comprehension of the mechanisms at the basis of functional ...

Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator induces blood-brain barrier breakdown by a matrix metalloproteinase-9-independent pathway after transient focal cerebral ischemia in mouse

Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Jean-Christophe Copin

The role of the inducible matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after ischemic stroke is well accepted. Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) is the only approved thrombolytic treatment of ischemic stroke but r ...

Arterial remodeling using a constituent-based approach

Alkiviadis Tsamis

This thesis is intended to contribute to the field of biomechanics of growth and remodeling of arteries. The work focuses particularly on growth and remodeling caused by sustained hypertension, increased blood flow, and ageing. A structure-based constituti ...

Arterial remodeling in response to hypertension using a constituent-based model

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Alkiviadis Tsamis

Hypertension-induced arterial remodeling has been previously modeled using stress-driven remodeling rate equations in terms of global geometrical adaptation (Rachev A, Stergiopulos N, Meister JJ. Theoretical study of dynamics of arterial wall remodeling in ...

Oscillatory shear stress and reduced compliance impair vascular functions

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Paolo Silacci, Tyler Nerton Thacher, Veronica Gambillara

Shear stress has been shown to influence endothelial cell gene expression and morphology. In particular, low and bi-directional shear stress, mimicking conditions at plaque-prone areas, down-regulates the expression of several atheroprotective genes, and u ...
