Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy: A Donor or Recipient Induced Pathology?
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is one of the main causes of late-stage heart failure after heart transplantation. CAV is characterized by concentric luminal narrowing of the coronary arteries, but the exact pathogenesis of CAV is still not unraveled. Many researchers show evidence of an allogeneic immune response of the recipient, whereas others show contrasting results in which donor-der...
متن کاملAldosterone-induced vasculopathy: a new reversible cause of cardiac death.
JRAAS 2001;2:211-14 The traditional view is that angiotensin II (Ang II) is the principal culprit in the renin-angiotensinaldosterone system (RAAS). However, it is now appreciated that aldosterone is a second culprit and that the harmful effects of aldosterone are additional to those of Ang II. The relative importance of Ang II and aldosterone can be illustrated by the fact that during chronic ...

متن کاملAllograft Vasculopathy Versus Atherosclerosis Antibody and Complement in Transplant Vasculopathy Cytokines, Interferon- , and Transplant Vasculopathy Chemokines and Transplant Vasculopathy Stem Cells and Transplant Vasculopathy
Advances in immunosuppression have decreased the incidence of acute rejection, but the development of vasculopathy in the coronary arteries of transplants continues to limit the survival of cardiac allografts. Transplant vasculopathy has also been referred to as accelerated graft arteriosclerosis because it has features of arteriosclerosis, but it is limited to the graft and develops over a per...
