The role of inflammation in heart failure (HF) has been extensively described, but it is uncertain whether inflammation exerts a different prognostic influence according to etiology. We aimed to examine the inflammatory state in chronic HF by measuring N-acetylglucosamine/galactosamine (GlycA) and sialic acid (GlycB), evolving proton nuclear magnetic resonance biomarkers of systemic inflammation, and explore… Leer más »GlycA and GlycB as Inflammatory Markers in Chronic Heart Failure

Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a disorder related to patient comorbidities and aging. Whether mitochondrial dysfunction is present during HFpEF decompensation versus the stable phase is largely unknown. The aim of the present study was to identify mitochondrial and cell metabolism blood biomarkers in older patients with acute and stable HFpEF. Methods: Peripheral… Leer más »Biomarkers of stable and decompensated phases of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Objective chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation are crucial mechanisms for atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recent evidence suggests a link via humoral responses against high-density lipoproteins (HDL). However, their specificity, clinical relevance and emergence along disease course are unknown, especially during the earliest phases of RA.   Methods IgG and IgM serum levels of antibodies… Leer más »Humoral responses against HDL particles are linked to lipoprotein traits, atherosclerosis occurrence, inflammation and pathogenic pathways during the earliest stages of arthritis

Background: A 10-month strategy of cardiac telerehabilitation (CTR) improved outcomes over a standard centre-based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR), as recently published. We hypothesised that prolonged telerehabilitation could also improve proinflammatory status and lipoprotein particle composition. Methods: A randomised controlled trial compared a prolonged CTR program with CBCR in post-ACS patients. Patient’s age was 18-72 years with… Leer más »Cardiac telerehabilitation with long-term follow-up reduces GlycA and improves lipoprotein particle profile: A randomised controlled trial

Background and Aims : Nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) analysis have recently used to uncover hidden quantitative lipoprotein characteristics in cardiometabolic scenarios. The aim of this study was to assess whether bariatric surgery (BS) improved the quantitative characteristics of lipoproteins and their relationship with the presence of atherosclerotic plaque. Methods: The number, size, and lipid content… Leer más »Unveiling the antiatherogenic role of advanced lipoprotein characteristics in postoperative subjects with morbid obesity

High plasma triglyceride (TG) levels and chronic inflammation are important factors related to metabolic-associated fatty liver disease in patients at cardiovascular risk. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), we aimed to study the triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) and acute-phase glycoprotein profiles of a cohort of patients with metabolic disease and their relationship with fatty liver. Plasma samples… Leer más »Triglyceride-Rich Lipoproteins and Glycoprotein A and B Assessed by 1H-NMR in Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease

Introduction and objectives: Advanced lipoprotein phenotyping is a better predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk than cholesterol concentration alone. Lipoprotein profiling in heart failure (HF) is incompletely characterized. We aimed to describe the lipoprotein profile in patients with chronic HF compared with a matched control population. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed from May 2006 to April 2014… Leer más »1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy lipoprotein profile in patients with chronic heart failure versus matched controls
