Synthetic grafts are widely used in cardiac and vascular surgery since the mid-1970s. Despite their general good performance, inability of mimicking the elastomechanical characteristics of the native arterial tissue, and the consequent lack of adequate compliance, leads to a cascade of hemodynamic and biological alterations deeply affecting cardiovascular homeostasis. Those concerns have been reconsidered in more contemporaneous surgical and experimental reports which also triggered some research efforts in the tissue engineering field towards the realization of biomimetic arterial surrogates. The present review focuses on the significance of the “compliance mismatch” phenomenon occurring after aortic root or ascending aorta replacement with prosthetic grafts and discusses the clinical reflexes of this state of tissue incompatibility, as the loss of the native elastomechanical properties of the aorta can translate into detrimental effects on the normal efficiency of the aortic root complex with impact in the long-term results of patients undergoing aortic replacement. 相似文献

Elevated morning home blood pressure (MHBP) has been reported to have a close relationship to cerebro-cardiovascular events and hypertensive target organ damages, and hence is regarded as a predictor of cardiovascular events. However, there is no evidence that lowering of MHBP can improve morbidity, mortality or target organ damage. In recent guidelines, angiotensin II type-1 receptor blockers (ARBs) are recommended as the first-choice drugs for antihypertensive therapy. Pharmacological characteristics differ among ARBs, and some are suggested to have greater efficacy in lowering MHBP than others. In preparation for the MUSCAT study, we surveyed both self-monitored MHBP and office blood pressure (OBP) in 1,234 patients with essential hypertension. Among them, 367 patients had diabetes mellitus (DM) and 229 suffered from chronic kidney disease (CKD). More than 64% (n=790) of patients had morning hypertension. In MUSCAT, we will investigate the different effects of four ARBs (losartan, candesartan, valsartan, and telmisartan) in patients with morning hypertension, with a focus on the drugs' MHBP-lowering efficiency. Secondly, we will evaluate the different actions of the four ARBs on cardiovascular surrogate markers, such as the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, high-sensitive C-reactive protein level, and urinary albumin excretion/creatinine ratio. Patients will be randomized into four arms, and given one of the four "sartans" once daily for 12 months. MHBPs and surrogate markers will be examined at baseline and after 1 year of follow-up. In the stratified analysis, we will determine the significance of MHBP reduction on cardiovascular risk management. 相似文献
