Clinical trials: Glycocalyx
Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source, Endothelial Dysfunction
Impaired Endothelial Integrity in Patients With Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS)
The investigators will measure endothelial glycocalyx, aortic elastic properties, oxidative stress, and their association with left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) function in ESUS, cardioembolic, atherosclerotic, lacunar…

Smoking Cessation
The Effects of I Quit Ordinary Smoking on the Arterial Wall and Endothelial Glycocalyx Properties of Smokers
I quit ordinary smoking (IQOS) is proposed as a bridge to smoking cessation. In this study the investigators will examine its effects on aortic elasticity, glycocalyx integrity, and exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) concentration…

Sepsis, SIRS
Early Detection of Glycocalyx Damage in Emergency Room Patients
Aim of the study is to evaluate to what extent a glycocalyx damage measured in the ER in patients presenting with sepsis correlates with their clinical course and if it can be used as a clinical stratification tool and mortality…
