Abstract
Inflammation has been established as an important determinant of cardiovascular disease progression. Currently, clinical examination, laboratory and imaging tests are invaluable for the diagnosis, prognosis and disease monitoring. Novel inflammatory biomarkers are also used to better restratify patients in risk groups but their potential to guide treatment decisions and management of patients has not been extensively evaluated. Therefore, in this review article we present the most recent data concerning the use of inflammatory biomarkers in cardiovascular therapeutics.
Keywords: Atherosclerosis, biomarkers, cardiovascular diseases, coronary artery disease, heart failure, hypertension, inflammation, peripheral artery disease, stroke.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
