Hypertension (HT) is a disease that poses a serious threat to human health, mediating organ
damage such as the cardiovascular (CV) system, kidneys, central nervous system (CNS) …

Objective: The role of risk factors on the progression of arterial stiffness has not yet been
extensively evaluated. The aim of the current longitudinal study was to evaluate the …

Background: Hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD) is an emerging problem
among young adults. The potential role of chronic immune-mediated inflammation in the …

Brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and cardiovascular (CV) biomarkers are
correlated with clinical cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in patients with kidney disease …

The role of uric acid (UA) on the arterial stiffness progression has been evaluated only in
three studies. Our aim was to evaluate its role as a possible determinant of the pulse wave …

Abstract Annexin A5 (ANXA5) is a small calcium-dependent protein that binds specifically to
negatively charged phosphatidylserine as a marker of apoptosis. Previous studies have …

The mechanisms of the hypercoagulable state in cirrhotics with and without hepatocellular
carcinoma are incompetently comprehended. Objective: We aimed to explore the plasma …

Abstract Background The levels of Annexin A5 (Annexin V) were measured in patients with
and without HCC who had liver cirrhosis. These patients were followed for 12 months to …

Purpose: Only few studies evaluated biomarkers useful for defining the cardiovascular risk of
