Determination of Aortic Characteristic Impedance and Total Arterial Compliance From Regional Pulse Wave Velocities Using Machine Learning: An in-silico Study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

In-vivo assessment of aortic characteristic impedance (Zao) and total arterial compliance (CT) has been hampered by the need for either invasive or inconvenient and expensive methods to access simultaneous recordings of aortic pressure and flow, wall thick ...

Cholesterol Hinders the Passive Uptake of Amphiphilic Nanoparticles into Fluid Lipid Membranes

Francesco Stellacci, Matteo Gasbarri

Plasma membranes represent pharmacokinetic barriers for the passive transport of site-specific drugs within cells. When engineered nanoparticles (NPs) are considered as transmembrane drug carriers, the plasma membrane composition can affect passive NP inte ...

Feasibility of a Dielectric Elastomer Augmented Aorta

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Jonathan André Jean-Marie Chavanne, Morgan Almanza, Francesco Clavica, David Moser

Although heart transplantation is a gold standard for severe heart failure, there is a need for alternative effective therapies. A dielectric‐elastomer aorta is used to augment the physiological role of the aorta in the human circulatory system. To this en ...

Polygenic modelling of treatment effect heterogeneity

Zhi Ming Xu

Mendelian randomization is the use of genetic variants to assess the effect of intervening on a risk factor using observational data. We consider the scenario in which there is a pharmacomimetic (i.e., treatment-mimicking) genetic variant that can be used ...

Early Morphofunctional Changes in AngII-Infused Mice Contribute to Regional Onset of Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bram Trachet, Goran Lovric, Lydia Aslanidou

Aortic aneurysms and dissections are silent and lethal conditions, whose pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Although angiotensin II (AngII)-infused ApoE-/- mice have been widely used to study aortic aneurysm and dissection, early morphofunctiona ...

Cardiotrophin-1 Deficiency Abrogates Atherosclerosis Progression

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rodrigo Araujo Fraga Da Silva

Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) is associated with cardiovascular (CV) diseases. We investigated the effect of CT-1 deficiency in the development and progression of atherosclerosis in double knockout Apoe(-/-)ct-1(-/-) mice. Apoe(-/-) C57Bl/6 or Apoe(-/-)ct-1(-/-) ...

Acute effects of transcatheter aortic valve replacement on the ventricular-aortic interaction

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly used to treat severe aortic stenosis (AS) patients. However, little is known regarding the direct effect of TAVR on the ventricular-aortic interaction. In the present study, we aimed to investig ...

Long noncoding RNA SNHG12 integrates a DNA-PK-mediated DNA damage response and vascular senescence

Johan Auwerx, Norman Lionel Moullan

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging regulators of biological processes in the vessel wall; however, their role in atherosclerosis remains poorly defined. We used RNA sequencing to profile lncRNAs derived specifically from the aortic intima of Ldlr(- ...

Sirt6 deletion in bone marrow-derived cells increases atherosclerosis - Central role of macrophage scavenger receptor 1

Johan Auwerx

Aims: Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) is a NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase that plays a key role in DNA repair, inflammation and lipid regulation. Sirt6-null mice show severe metabolic defects and accelerated aging. Macrophage-foam cell formation via scavenger receptors is ...

Noninvasive estimation of aortic hemodynamics and cardiac contractility using machine learning

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Cardiac and aortic characteristics are crucial for cardiovascular disease detection. However, noninvasive estimation of aortic hemodynamics and cardiac contractility is still challenging. This paper investigated the potential of estimating aortic systolic ...
