TL;DR: In this paper, a double-blind, randomized multicenter trial (study enrollment August 2005-June 2006) in 3 university hospitals in Finland of 241 consecutive patients without prior atrial fibrillation or flutter and scheduled to undergo first on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, aortic valve replacement, or combined CABG surgery and valve replacement.

TL;DR: An important role is revealed in the development of ascending and abdominal aortic aneurysm using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methods and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases type 1 levels of osteopontin, MMP-2 and M MP-9.

Tuomas Peltonen,Juha Näpänkangas,Pasi Ohtonen,Jani Aro,Jenni Peltonen,Ylermi Soini,Tatu Juvonen,Jari Satta,Heikki Ruskoaho,Panu Taskinen +9 more
TL;DR: The downregulation of ACE2/angiotensin-(1-7)/-Mas receptor axis as well as AT(2)-receptors may promote fibrosis, proliferation and inflammation in patients with AS.
