Development and characterization of advanced nitric oxide-delivering polymeric systems against cardiovascular complications
Valvular complications and atherosclerosis contribute to the majority of the cardiovascular disease related deaths worldwide. In this thesis project the role of normative tissue mineral concentrations in native and decellularized valves were studied in correlation with clinical patterns of acquired …

Assessment of aortic stenosis using modern non-invasive imaging techniques
… to study the contribution of inflammation and calcification to valve narrowing using Positron Emission and Computed Tomography (PET/CT) and to investigate the hypertrophic response using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). METHODS: PET/CT studies. Patients with aortic sclerosis and mild, …

The role of lipoproteins in vascular calcification and plaque stabilisation
Vascular calcification (VC) is a feature of atherosclerotic plaques and is associated with co-morbidities such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease. While its presence is used by cardiologists to identify higher risk patients, increasing data suggests that the morphology of calcification is also …

Nuclear and Molecular Imaging Modalities for Predicting Calcific Aortic Valve Disease Progression in Animal Models
… aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most common valvular disease, accounting for 50% of all valve disorders and is the third most common cardiovascular disease following coronary disease and hypertension.[1,2] Currently, there is no pharmacological agent capable of reversing or slowing down the …
