Prognostic significance of brachial flow-mediated vasodilation.
There is currently much research devoted to the study of vascular biology in intact humans. These efforts aim to translate findings from the basic science arena to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and its complications. Markers of vascular risk have been used as surrogate end points in treatment studies. More recently, long-term studies have emerged that speak to...
متن کاملthe relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test
the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...
15 صفحه اولEstrogen replacement and brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilation in older women.
It remains unclear whether estrogen therapy (with or without progestin) improves endothelial function in older postmenopausal women with or at risk for coronary heart disease. To address this issue, we analyzed brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilation in the Cardiovascular Health Study, a longitudinal study of cardiovascular risk factors in subjects over 65 years of age. At the tenth annual C...
متن کاملCross-sectional evaluation of brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilation and C-reactive protein in healthy individuals.
AIMS The present study was designed to (a) examine the interrelationship between endothelial function and CRP in healthy individuals and (b) evaluate the relationship of each biomarker towards global Framingham risk scores. METHODS AND RESULTS Brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD), CRP, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors were measured in the Firefighters and Their Endoth...
متن کاملEndothelial function assessment in atherosclerosis: comparison of brachial artery flow‑mediated vasodilation and peripheral arterial tonometry.
INTRODUCTION Endothelial dysfunction, characterized by the loss of nitric oxide bioavailability, is a key element in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and an important prognostic factor in cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the development of reliable, safe, and noninvasive methods of endothelial function assessment is important for their use in cardiovascular risk stratification. Brachial ...
