AI-Based Estimation of End-Systolic Elastance From Arm-Pressure and Systolic Time Intervals

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Georgios Rovas, Vasiliki Bikia, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Left ventricular end-systolic elastance (Ees) is a major determinant of cardiac systolic function and ventricular-arterial interaction. Previous methods for the Ees estimation require the use of the echocardiographic ejection fraction (EF). However, given ...

Cardiovascular morphometry with high-resolution 3D magnetic resonance: First application to left ventricle diastolic dysfunction

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Orestis Vardoulis, Davide Piccini

In this study, an image-based morphometry toolset quantifying geometric descriptors of the left ventricle, aorta and their coupling is applied to investigate whether morphological information can differentiate between subjects affected by diastolic dysfunc ...

The Channel-Activating Protease CAP1/Prss8 Is Required for Placental Labyrinth Maturation

Simona Frateschi, Friedrich Beermann, Roch-Philippe Charles, Aline Dousse

The serine protease CAP1/Prss8 is crucial for skin barrier function, lung alveolar fluid clearance and has been unveiled as diagnostic marker for specific cancer types. Here, we show that a constitutive knockout of CAP1/Prss8 leads to embryonic lethality. ...

An assessment of ductus venosus tapering and wave transmission from the fetal heart

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Pressure and flow pulsations in the fetal heart propagate through the precordial vein and the ductus venosus (DV) but are normally not transmitted into the umbilical vein (UV). Pulsations in the umbilical vein do occur, however, in early pregnancy and in p ...

Differentiation of Trophoblast Giant Cells and Their Metabolic Functions Are Dependent on Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor /

Didier Trono, Walter Wahli

Mutation of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor beta/delta (PPARbeta/delta) severely affects placenta development, leading to embryonic death at embryonic day 9.5 (E9.5) to E10.5 of most, but not all, PPARbeta/delta-null mutant ...

A mathematical model of umbilical venous pulsation

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Pulsations in the fetal heart propagate through the precordial vein and the ductus venosus but are normally not transmitted into the umbilical vein. Pulsations in the umbilical vein do occur, however, in early pregnancy and in pathological conditions. Such ...

Contributions of vascular tone and structure to elastic properties of a medium-sized artery

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Isobaric compliance and distensibility of the radial artery were recently reported to be normal or slightly increased in untreated hypertensive patients. However, these findings provide no information on the intrinsic mechanical properties of the wall mate ...
