Mashup Score: 1Interleukin-1 and the NLRP3 Inflammasome in Pericardial Disease - Current Cardiology Reports - 3 year(s) ago
Purpose of Review Pericarditis is a generally benign disease, although complications and/or recurrences may occur in up to 30% of cases. New evidence on the pathophysiology of the disease has accumulated in recent years. Recent Findings Recently, it has been shown that the activation of the NLRP3 (NACHT, leucine-rich repeat, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3) inflammasome is central in the…

Mashup Score: 3The Onco-cardiologist Dilemma: to Implant, to Defer, or to Avoid Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Cancer Patients with Aortic Stenosis? - 3 year(s) ago
Purpose of Review Aging is associated with an increased prevalence of both cancer and heart disease. The progression of aortic valve calcification to aortic stenosis may be accelerated by both cardiovascular risk factors and cancer treatments, such as radiotherapy with mediastinal involvement. Symptomatic aortic stenosis is occasionally diagnosed in cancer patients undergoing cardiovascular…

Mashup Score: 0The ADAPTABLE Trial and Aspirin Dosing in Secondary Prevention for Patients with Coronary Artery Disease - 3 year(s) ago
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the underlying cause of death in one out of seven deaths in the USA. Aspirin therapy has been proven to decrease mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CAD. Despite a plethora of studies showing the benefit of aspirin in secondary prevention of cardiovascular events, debate remains regarding the optimal dose due to relatively small…

"Pericarditis is regarded as a stereotypical response to an acute damage of mesothelial cells of the pericardial layers. NLRP3 inflammasome is centrally involved as it releases interleukin (IL)-1β, whose auto-induction feeds an autoinflammatory disease" https://t.co/wmOCU2kFEf https://t.co/fX3IaqnCBf
