Tissue factor (TF) is the key activator of coagulation and is involved in acute coronary syndromes. Caffeine is often reported to increase cardiovascular risk; however, its effect on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is controversial. Hence, this study was designed to investigate the impact of caffeine on endothelial TF expression in vitro . Caffeine concentration-dependently enhanced TF...

Different vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis in the human internal mammary artery and the saphenous vein: implications for bypass graft disease

In: Journal of Vascular Research, 2006, vol. 43, no. 4, p. 338-346

The remarkable patency of internal mammary artery (MA) grafts compared to saphenous vein (SV) grafts has been related to different biological properties of the two blood vessels. We examined whether proliferation and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from human coronary artery bypass vessels differ according to patency rates. Methods and Results: Proliferation rates to serum...
