Journal ArticleDOI
Abundant progenitor cells in the adventitia contribute to atherosclerosis of vein grafts in ApoE-deficient mice
Yanhua Hu,Zhongyi Zhang,Evelyn Torsney,Ali R. Afzal,Fergus Davison,Bernhard Metzler,Qingbo Xu +6 more
TL;DR: A large population of vascular progenitor cells existing in the adventitia can differentiate into SMCs that contribute to atherosclerosis, and these cells may have implications for cellular, genetic, and tissue engineering approaches to vascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decline of acute coronary syndrome admissions in Austria since the outbreak of COVID-19: the pandemic response causes cardiac collateral damage.
TL;DR: A nationwide retrospective survey on the impact of COVID-19 on the diagnosis and treatment of acute cornary syndrome from 2 to 29 March in Austria observed a significant decline in the number of patients admitted to hospital due to ACS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endothelial cytotoxicity mediated by serum antibodies to heat shock proteins of Escherichia coli and Chlamydia pneumoniae: immune reactions to heat shock proteins as a possible link between infection and atherosclerosis.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that humoral immune reactions to bacterial HSPs may play an important role in the process of vascular endothelial injury, which is believed to be a key event in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired Heart Contractility in Apelin Gene–Deficient Mice Associated With Aging and Pressure Overload

Greg Neely,Vukoslav Komnenovic,Ursula Kolm,Bernhard Metzler,Romeo Ricci,Hiromitsu Hara,Arabella Meixner,Mai Nghiem,Xin Chen,Fayez Dawood,Kit Man Wong,Renu Sarao,Renu Sarao,Eva Cukerman,Akinori Kimura,Lutz Hein,Johann G. Thalhammer,Peter P. Liu,Josef M. Penninger +30 more
TL;DR: Genetic data show that the endogenous peptide Apelin is crucial to maintain cardiac contractility in pressure overload and aging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic Value of Microvascular Obstruction and Infarct Size, as Measured by CMR in STEMI Patients
Matthijs van Kranenburg,Michael Magro,Holger Thiele,Suzanne de Waha,Ingo Eitel,Alexandre Cochet,Yves Cottin,Dan Atar,Peter Buser,Edwin Wu,Daniel C. Lee,Vicente Bodi,Gert Klug,Bernhard Metzler,Ronak Delewi,Peter Bernhardt,Wolfgang Rottbauer,Eric Boersma,Felix Zijlstra,Robert-Jan van Geuns +19 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that MO is an independent predictor of MACE and cardiac death, whereas IS%LV is not independently associated with MACE.
