Insertion-deletion polymorphism of the ACE gene modulates reversibility of endothelial dysfunction with ACE inhibition.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine whether angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition improves coronary endothelial dysfunction in patients with atherosclerosis and its risk factors and whether this was related to the ACE insertion-deletion (I/D) polymorphism. METHODS AND RESULTS In 56 patients with atherosclerosis or its risk factors, we studied endothelium-dependent respons...
متن کاملEndothelial Dysfunction
The study by Akiyama et al. (3), in this issue of the Journal, highlights a potential novel target in HFPEF. In this observational hospital-based study of 321 patients with HFPEF and 173 age-, sex-, and comorbidity-matched controls, endothelial function was assessed using reactive hyperemia peripheral arterial tonometry. Endothelial dysfunction (defined by a reactive hyperemia index below the m...
متن کاملEndothelial dysfunction.
Endothelial dysfunction is characterized by a shift of the actions of the endothelium toward reduced vasodilation, a proinflammatory state, and prothrombic properties. It is associated with most forms of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, chronic heart failure, peripheral artery disease, diabetes, and chronic renal failure. Mechanisms that participate in the ...
متن کاملReversibility of ventricular dysfunction. Clinical experience in a medical office.
OBJECTIVE - To describe clinical observations of marked improvement in ventricular dysfunction in a medical office environment under circumstances differing from those in study protocols and multicenter studies performed in hospital or with outpatient cohorts. METHODS - Eleven cardiac failure patients with marked ventricular dysfunction receiving treatment at a doctors office between 1994 and 1...
متن کاملAssessment of ischemic regional myocardial dysfunction and its reversibility.
BY ITS very nature, significant disease of the coronary arteries results in regional ischemia or infarction, with sparing of other areas of the heart. Therefore, it is intuitively reasonable that assessment of the consequences of ischemic events on cardiac contraction would be best reflected in regional myocardial performance. On the other hand, if a regional contractile abnormality is sufficie...
