Is circulating Lp-PLA2 associated with high valvuloarterial impedance and low arterial compliance in patients with aortic valve bioprostheses?
An increased Z(va), an index of excessive hemodynamic load, was highly prevalent 8-year post-AVR and was independently related to circulating Lp-PLA2.
The two genotypes GC-CA of the (-137 and -607) IL-18 polymorphism and the AA genotype of the Apo1/Fas gene influence the outcome of HCV infection in Tunisian patients on hemodialysis.
