Lead, smoking, and peripheral vascular function.
Lead, Smoking, and Peripheral Vascular Function To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Argacha et al1 dealing with acute effects of passive smoking on peripheral vascular function. The authors presented data concluding that passive smoking specifically increases aortic wave reflection through a nicotinedependent pathway and impairs microvascular function, even after the end of the ...
متن کاملAcute effects of passive smoking on peripheral vascular function.
Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) acutely affects peripheral and coronary vascular tone. Whether ETS exerts specific deleterious effects on aortic wave reflection through nicotine exposure, whether they persist after ETS cessation, and whether the smoke environment impairs microvascular function and increases asymmetrical dimethyl-arginine levels are not known. We tested these hypotheses in a r...
متن کاملPeripheral Vascular Function
Background. Blood pressure and total peripheral resistance increase with age. However, the effect of age on vasodilatory capacity has not been characterized. Methods and Results. To delineate the effects of aging, gender, and physical training on peripheral vascular function, we measured blood pressure during submaximal and maximal treadmill exercise and measured blood pressure, calf blood flow...
متن کاملPeripheral vascular reactions to smoking--profound vasoconstriction by atherosclerosis.
Analyses of direct effects of smoking on peripheral arteries were done using thermography, blood fluorometry and echography on 97 habitual smoker-diabetics without triopathy. There were found to be four types of thermographic changes following smoking, which varied according to the degree of atherosclerosis of the artery. The smoking-stimulated thermographic pattern in the control group of heal...
متن کاملLead, cadmium, smoking, and increased risk of peripheral arterial disease.
BACKGROUND Lead and cadmium exposure may promote atherosclerosis, although the cardiovascular effects of chronic low-dose exposure are largely unknown. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the association between blood levels of lead and cadmium and peripheral arterial disease. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed data from 2125 participants who were > or =40 years of age in the 1999...
