Background: Ischaemic preconditioning results in a reduction in ischaemic-reperfusion
injury to the heart. This beneficial effect is seen both with direct local preconditioning of the …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important modulator of cardiac performance and left ventricular (LV)
remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). We tested the effect of cardiomyocyte-restricted …

We assessed pulmonary cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenase expression and activity
during hypoxia and explored the effects of modulating epoxygenase activity on pulmonary …

Loretta Kiss, Pál Soós, Zsolt Szelid and Béla Merkely participated in the design of the study Zsolt …

Aims Inhalation of nitric oxide (iNO) during myocardial ischaemia and after reperfusion confers
cardioprotection in preclinical studies via enhanced cyclic guanosine monophosphate (…

Detecting early-stage atherosclerosis is an important step towards cardiovascular disease
prevention. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score is a sensitive and non-invasive tool for …

Background Oxidative stress is an important factor in the pathomechanism of atherosclerosis.
Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are considered markers of oxidative stress. …

Nitric oxide modulates the severity of myocardial ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. We
investigated whether cardioselective nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) gene transfer could confer …

Several inflammatory biomarkers were found to be associated with an increased risk of
cardiovascular disease. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of subclinical …

Introduction: The reduction in mortality due to prevention programmes observed in some
European countries is not currently reached in Hungary. Effective prevention is based on the …
