Get the PICTURE: PIn1 pathway as a target to prevent Chronic Thromboembolic pUlmonary hypeRtEension KU Leuven
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare complication of pulmonary embolism (PE), characterized by fibrothrombotic material obliterating large pulmonary arteries. The disease is underdiagnosed and the treatment (high-risk surgery, angioplasty and drugs) is complex. There is an unmet need to identify patients at risk developing CTEPH after acute PE. Both pulmonary arterial smooth muscle and endothelial cells (PAECs) ...

Adverse health outcomes in relation to blood pressure and genetic, epigenetic and environmental risk factors KU Leuven
Identification of risk factors is pivotal in disease prevention. The objectives of this doctoral thesis were to address the contribution of common risk factors to the incidence of adverse health outcomes. In line with the title of my thesis, I structured my research around three themes: hypertension, genetic and epigenetic variants that potentially carry risk and exposure to environmental pollutants. The focus on hypertension was obvious ...

The impact of exercise interventions on blood pressure and determinants of BP change in different clinical populations. KU Leuven
Hypertension remains the leading risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. During the last decades, research has provided insight on the potency of exercise as a blood pressure lowering intervention. Though, the majority of these studies had office blood pressure as an outcome. Today, management of hypertension is guided and based on ambulatory blood pressure measurements. However, little data is available on the efficacy of exercise therapy ...
