Plasmatic homocyst(E)ine and folate are related to arterial blood pressure in type 2 diabetes mellitusProgrammed myocyte cell death and activation of the immune system have been shown to occur in patients with congestive heart failure. Besides, unstable angina episodes are likely to be associated ...
50 and it is known to be the mechanism causing the large arterial alterations (stiffness and decreased compliance) involved in the pathophysiology of geriatric hypertension.51 It has also been suggested that uric acid acts as a pro-oxidant in the context of the metabolic syndrome,50 may have ...
Choroidal vessels compensate for changes in systemic blood pressure (BP) so that choroidal blood flow (ChBF) remains stable over a BP range of approximately 40 mm Hg above and below basal. Because of the presumed importance of ChBF regulation for maintenance of retinal health, we investigated ...
The Central Nervous Contribution to Vasomotor Tone Vasomotor tone is to some extent a manifestation of the myogenic response of vascular smooth muscle. In resistance vessels on the arterial side of the circulation of key organs such as the brain and the heart, this is a major factor unde... ...
This is a randomized, controlled, double-blind, single-dose, single-center parallel-group clinical trial to assess the effects of a single dose of amisulpride (100 mg) on blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) responses during reward- and motivation-related processing in healthy subjects (n ...

As blood enters the arterial wall, the tear spreads radially and a delamination process subsequently begins, typically in the middle layer of the artery referred to as the tunica media. The structure of the media is lamellar, and during the delamination one lamella separates from the other, ...
analysis findings that the likelihood of an apoB-containing lipoprotein particle entering into and being trapped within the subintimal space of the arterial wall is more closely related to the concentration of circulating apoB-containing lipoproteins than to the variable mass of cholesterol within them...
Carotid astherosclerosis19 and increased large arterial stiffness might reduce baroreceptor sensitivity and contribute to cerebral damage20. Considering that stroke patients’ auto-regulatory capacities are already impaired, making them more vulnerable to BP fluctuations, a high BPV might be a predictive ...
After 10 min of rest before the first scan, increased flow was induced by deflating a pneumatic tourni- quet after a 5-min suprasystolic arterial forearm compression (at least 50 mmHg above systolic blood pressure). The post- ischemic scan was performed 45 to 60 s after cuff deflation. ...
