Circulating Endothelial Cells and Platelet Microparticles in Mitral Valve Disease With and Without Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract: Hypercoagulability in mitral valve disease (MVD), a cause of atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke, is potentially due to endothelial damage/dysfunction (marked by circulating endothelial cells [CECs]), platelet activation (soluble P-selectin [sPsel], platelet microparticles [PMPs], and soluble CD40 [sCD40]), and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) cholesterol. We measured these variables in 24 patients with MVD as well as in 21 with MVD + AF and compared them with 20 healthy controls (HCs). The CECs and PM… Show more

“…However, in accordance with our data, human male patients appear to have higher circulating oxLDL concentrations compared with women . Furthermore, in humans, oxLDL has been determined to be increased in patients with MR if complicated by atrial fibrillation compared with clinically healthy controls …”

“…In the Framingham Heart study circulating endothelium-derived microparticles were associated with cardiometabolic risk factors [39]. Furthermore, either elevated concentration or altered composition of this EV subtype could be found in a broad variety of diseases like vasculitis [40], acute coronary syndrom [41], mitral valve disease [42] or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura [43]. The relatively high EEV levels in BM of healthy donors might reflect the fact that endothelium is highly abundant and active in BM.…”

“…To date, several case-control studies have reported increased oxLDL in the general CKD population [9,20] , as well as in AF patients [21] , and recently, oxLDL has been linked to the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in AF patients without associated comorbidities [22] . Our findings extend those observations to the interplay of AF, OS and renal dysfunction.…”
