摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and kits for detecting cardiac remodeling in subjects without clinical signs of heart failure. The present invention also relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions for the prevention and the treatment of cardiac remodeling.
摘要:
Method for monitoring the evolution of heart failure in a patient comprising determining in vitro a physiological human parameter in a patient, comprising the steps consisting of: i) measuring values of two or more human parameters (P1, P2, . . . , PN) at time t1 wherein one or more of the human parameters (P1t1, P2t2, . . . PNt1) is obtained from a human physiological fluid sample, ii) measuring values of the same two or more parameters (P1t2, P2t2, . . . PNt2) at time t2 different from time t1, and iii) determining the physiological human parameter wherein the physiological human parameter is a plasma volume variation &Dgr;V between time t2 and time t1 from the values (P1t1, P2t1, PNt1, P1t2, P2t2, . . . PNt2) obtained at times t1 and t2, and devices for implementing said method.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of cardiovascular fibrosis. In particular, the present invention relates to an inhibitor of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) activity or expression for use in a method for treating or preventing cardiovascular fibrosis in a subject in need thereof.
摘要:
The present relates to a method for detecting cardiac remodeling in a subject without clinical signs of heart failure comprising determining the level of the NGAL-MMP9 complex in a blood sample obtained from the patient.
