As arterial stiffness increases in the absence of subjective symptoms, a personal indicator that reflects increased risk of cardiovascular disease is necessary. Penile erection is regulated by vascular function, and atherosclerosis affects the penile artery earlier than it affects the coronary and carotid...
In health, PVAT secretes anti-contractile factors that relax the underlying artery. PVAT’s contributions to vascular function include more than production of vasoactive substances. We hypothesized that PVAT benefits the artery by assisting the function
Before and after 1 year of treatment, while still on active medication, flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) was measured in the brachial artery using ultrasound while relaxation to acetylcholine in small arteries was tested in vitro in a myograph. FMD correlated inversely to resting brachial artery ...
Functions of the LV were invasively assessed by a PV catheter (Millar, 2F, Houston, TX, USA) introduced into the LV via the right carotid artery as described in previous studies [35,36,37]. Volume signal was calibrated by cuvette calibration unit of known volumes fulfilled with heparinized ...
The left anterior descending (LAD, interventricular) coronary artery provides the blood supply to the mid-region of the heart and is a major site of vessel stenosis. Changes in LAD function can have major effects on heart function. In this report, we examined the effect of electron simulated ...
Similar U-shape relationships have been observed with other health outcomes, including total mortality [45], cardiovascular mortality [45], coronary artery calcification [46], and cognitive function [47]. Upon further interrogation, we found that an eGFR ≥ 105 ml/min/1.73m2 was associated ...
A considerably more detailed review of this aspect of testis function is provided in Chapter 17. The vascular supply to the testis arises from the abdominal aorta and, in species with scrotal testes, this results in a comparatively long and highly coiled spermatic artery that is particularly ...
Ormseth et al. identified 8 candidate plasma miRNAs that could be used to monitor the progression of coronary artery calcification in patients with RA, which may support the early identification and management of coronary atherosclerosis.258Furthermore, the serum exosomal miR-155 level is high in ...
