Novel mechanisms for maintaining endothelial barrier function in sepsis.
The pathophysiology of multiple disease states, including sepsis,1,2 hypertension,1 atherosclerosis,3–5 and ischemiareperfusion injury,6 is characterized by loss of the endothelial barrier function leading to the accumulation of plasma-borne proteins, tissue edema, and cell death. Importantly therapeutic strategies that inhibit loss of endothelial barrier function have been associated with stra...
متن کاملAprotinin impairs coronary endothelial function and down-regulates endothelial NOS in rat coronary microvascular endothelial cells.
OBJECTIVE The non-specific serine protease inhibitor aprotinin is currently used to reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusion after cardiopulmonary bypass. We have recently reported that aprotinin impairs endothelium-dependent but not endothelium-independent relaxations in rat thoracic aortic rings due to its inhibitory effect on endothelial nitric oxide (NO) production. In light of ...
متن کاملEndothelial function: a barometer for cardiovascular risk?
The endothelium regulates vascular homeostasis by elaborating a variety of paracrine factors that act locally in the blood vessel wall and lumen.1 Under normal conditions, the sum total effect of these endothelial factors is to maintain normal vascular tone, blood fluidity, and limit vascular inflammation and smooth muscle cell proliferation. However, when coronary risk factors are present, the...
متن کاملCARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE Relation between C reactive protein concentrations and coronary microvascular endothelial function
Objective: To determine how C reactive protein (CRP), a sensitive marker of inflammation, is related to coronary endothelial function. Design: Changes in quantitative coronary angiographic findings and Doppler flow velocity measurements in response to locally infused acetylcholine were assessed. Setting: Tertiary cardiology centre. Patients: 46 patients with angiographically normal coronary art...
متن کاملCardiovascular risk factor profiles and endothelial function in coronary artery disease patients treated with statins.
Although endothelial dysfunction is associated with cardiovascular risk factors and is improved by cholesterol-lowering therapy, the relationship between endothelial function and cardiovascular risk factor profiles has not been fully investigated in coronary artery disease patients who have been treated with statins. We investigated endothelial function in male hypercholesterolemic patients (n=...
