CVIA Journal

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal examines recent advances in circulating biomarkers for the early diagnosis and risk assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a largely asymptomatic but potentially life-threatening vascular condition. The authors describe how pathological processes underlying AAA—such as inflammation, vascular smooth muscle cell dysfunction, extracellular matrix degradation, and thrombosis—release measurable molecular signals into the bloodstream, creating opportunities to improve detection beyond imaging alone.
