Circulating Apoptotic Progenitor Cells in Patients with Congestive Heart Failure

BACKGROUND Circulating CD34+ endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are capable of differentiating into mature endothelial cells to assist in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. We sought to quantify the numbers of apoptotic progenitors in patients with congestive heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll density-gradient from 58 patients with var...

Circulating adiponectin concentrations in patients with congestive heart failure.

OBJECTIVES To determine concentrations of adiponectin and its predictive value on outcome in a cohort of patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). METHODS Serum and clinical data were obtained for outpatients with clinically controlled CHF (n = 175). Serum concentrations of adiponectin, C reactive protein, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), interleukin (IL) -1beta, IL-6...

CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE IN CHILDREN: A SURVEY OF 114 PATIENTS

During a period of four years between June, IS, 1988 to June, IS, 1992 one hundred and fourteen patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were admitted to the pediatric department of Taleghani General Hospital. During the above period, 192 patients with heart disease were hospitalized at this department and CHF was the cause of admission in 59.4% of them. Congenital heart disease (CHO) w...

Increased oxidative stress in patients with congestive heart failure.

OBJECTIVES We sought to study the markers of lipid peroxidation and defenses against oxidative stress in patients with varying degrees of heart failure. BACKGROUND Despite advances in other areas of cardiovascular disease, the morbidity and mortality from congestive heart failure (CHF) are increasing. Data mainly from animal models suggest that free radical injury may promote myocardial decom...

Increased Circulating Cathepsin K in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure

Cysteinyl cathepsin K (CatK) is one of the most potent mammalian collagenases involved in cardiovascular disease. Here, we investigated the clinical predictive value of serum CatK levels in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). We examined 134 patients with CHF, measuring their serum CatK, troponin I, high-sensitive C-reactive protein, and pre-operative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic pep...
