What is triple vessel coronary artery disease? What circulatory disorder indicates an underlying coronary artery condition? What is symptomatic myocardial ischemia? Is carotid artery stenosis caused by ischemic heart disease? What is mild coronary artery calcification?
Clinical manifestations include graft loss in the early posttransplant period or features of portal hypertension along with varying degree of intestinal congestion and ischemia if the presentation is delayed [6,11]. The diagnosis is established by the use of Doppler, computed tomography (CT) scan, ...
Is peripheral artery disease considered cardiovascular disease? What is the cause of ischemia in coronary artery disease? What is non-obstructive coronary artery disease? How does blood pressure affect peripheral artery disease? What is symptomatic myocardial ischemia? What is acute iliofemoral venous th...
Specifically, two different contrast-enhancement patterns can be observed in case of MI: early hypo-enhancement, which is correlated to the microvascular obstruction in acute MI, and delayed hyper-enhancement, which is typical of chronic MI. Therefore, the ability of cardiac CT to characterize ...
In type 2 diabetes, GDF15 is associated with both macrovascular and microvascular complications [213,214]. At the same time, GDF-15 is considered an indicator of COVID-19 severity [182,183]. The lysyl oxidase gene (LOX) was also revealed in the networks of CVD and diabetic nephropathy. ...
In 1896, the Starling Principle was presented to explain microvascular fluid exchange and has been used to provide a better understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanism of fluid build-up in edema. Fundamentally, the Starling Principle proposed that fluid movement across the capillary membrane is depe...
Cortical spreading depolarization is another research area as a possible pathophysiological mechanism after TBI. It has demonstrated to have high positive and negative predictive value for delayed cerebral ischemia after TBI [198]. It should be briefly mentioned at this point, that besides monitoring, ...
The sole exception is currently provided by a human brain microvascular endothelial cell line, hCMEC/D3, in which STIM2 is the only STIM isoform expressed [88]. Interestingly, STIM2 deletion impairs proliferation in HUVEC although its involvement in SOCE was not investigated [122]. Orai2, ...
