Background: In chronic kidney disease (CKD) cardiovascular remodeling (CVR) is very frequent compared with general population and, as suppose, may be associated with «new» renal risk factors. The aim of study was to estimate association of new serum biomarkers (FGF-23, Klotho) and traditional biomarker of cardiac damage-serum Troponin I (sTr-I) with signs of CVR.
Methods: One hundred thirty CKD G1-5D patients without cardiovascular disease (CVD) clinical manifestation were included. We measured serum FGF-23, Klotho and sTr-I. The instrumental methods were: echocardiography, SphygmoCor test [Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), Central (aortic) Blood Pressure (CBP), Subendocardial Blood Supply (SBS)].
Results: FGF-23 level correlated with: sTr-I (r = 0.512; p < 0.01), eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy, LVH (r = 0.543; p < 0.01), SBS (r = - 0.499; p < 0.05). There were no differences of FGF-23 level in patients with normal and high CBP. Klotho correlated with concentric LVH (r = - 0.451; p < 0.01), PWV (r = - 0.667; p < 0.001), Cardiac Calcification Score, CCS (r = - 0.581; p < 0.01). Multivariate analysis revealed positive independent association of FGF-23 with eccentric LVH (OR = 1.036, 95% CI (1.004-1.068); p = 0.038). Klotho was a negative determinant for concentric LVH (OR = 0.990, 95% CI 0.987-0.994; p < 0.001), increased PWV (OR = 0.984, 95% CI (0.977-0.991); p < 0.001) and CCS (OR = 0.991, 95% CI (0.988-0.995); p < 0.001). In addition, multivariate analysis revealed a relationship between serum Klotho (OR = 0.980, 95% CI (0.964-0.996); p = 0.016), FGF-23 (OR = 3.145, 95% CI (1.020-9.695); p = 0.046) and troponin I level.
Conclusion: In CKD patients without CVD clinical manifestation increased serum FGF-23 level and decreased Klotho are associated with CVR: FGF-23 with eccentric LVH (independently of CBP), Klotho determinate concentric LVH, PWV and CCS. Moderately elevated sTr-I levels may be a manifestation of FGF-23/Klotho imbalance in CKD.

Background: Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is associated with hypertension and vascular remodeling. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and the Hippo-YAP pathway are implicated in these processes, but their specific roles remain unclear. This study investigated the HIF-1α/Hippo-YAP pathway in SAS-related hypertension.

Background: Long-term consumption of Western Diet (WD) is a well-established risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, there is a paucity of studies on the long-term effects of WD on the pathophysiology of CVD and sex-specific responses.
Methods: Our study aimed to investigate the sex-specific pathophysiological changes in left ventricular (LV) function using transthoracic echocardiography (ECHO) and LV tissue transcriptomics in WD-fed C57BL/6 J mice for 125 days, starting at the age of 300 through 425 days.
Results: In female mice, consumption of the WD diet showed long-term effects on LV structure and possible development of HFpEF-like phenotype with compensatory cardiac structural changes later in life.

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) act together to regulate blood pressure and systemic blood flow by appropriately adjusting blood vessel diameter in response to biochemical or biomechanical stimuli. Ion channels that are expressed in these cells regulate membrane potential and cytosolic Ca concentration ([Ca]) in response to such stimuli. The subsets of these ion channels involved in Ca signaling often form molecular complexes with intracellular molecules via scaffolding proteins.
