Arterial endothelial function is impaired in treated depression.
OBJECTIVES To determine whether patients with treated depression but no other risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) have abnormal arterial endothelial function, an abnormality that is common to other acquired risk factors for CHD. DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING Secondary care departments of cardiology and psychiatry in a single centre and the surrounding community. PARTICIPANT...
متن کاملExecutive Function Is Selectively Impaired in Old Age Bipolar Depression
Background: Little is known about the cognitive signature of bipolar disorder (BD) in elderly brains. The neuropsychological features of depressive elderly with early-onset BD are largely unknown. This issue is relevant because cognitive impairment can produce an additional impact on the already compromised functionality of elderly with BD. The aim of this study is to assess executive functions...
متن کاملEndothelial function is impaired in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy.
BACKGROUND Data supporting a link between body-fat distribution changes and cardiovascular disease risk in HIV-infected patients are scarce and contradictory. We evaluated endothelial dysfunction, an early event in the development of atherosclerosis, and pro-atherosclerotic plasma biomarkers in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy. METHODS HIV-infected patients with and without lipodystro...
متن کاملEndothelial Function Repeated Thermal Therapy Improves Impaired Vascular Endothelial Function in Patients With Coronary Risk Factors
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether sauna therapy, a thermal vasodilation therapy, improves endothelial function in patients with coronary risk factors such as hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and smoking. BACKGROUND Exposure to heat is widely used as a traditional therapy in many different cultures. We have recently found that repeated sauna therapy improves endothel...
متن کاملHeavy Alcohol Consumption is Associated with Impaired Endothelial Function: The Circulatory Risk in Communities Study (CIRCS)
AIM Previous studies have reported that moderate alcohol consumption is protective against cardiovascular disease, but heavy alcohol consumption increases its risk. Endothelial dysfunction is hypothesized to contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. However, few population-based studies have examined a potential effect of alcohol consumption on endothelial fun...
